The Arizona Coyotes couldn't get to the Washington Capitals early. They couldn't get to them in the middle of the game. But they did get to them late.
Arizona scored three goals in the third period as Mike Smith recorded his third shutout of the season in a 3-0 victory over Washington on Saturday night. It was Arizona's final game of the 2015-16 season at Gila River Arena.
Scoring Summary
First Period
No scoring early on. Arizona didn't play particularly poorly, but they didn't play outstanding hockey either.
Second Period
Max Domi fought Nate Schmidt, but if you were looking for fireworks of the goal variety you were going to have to keep waiting.
