It took all of nine minutes and seventeen seconds for the warm feelings from Saturday night's win against Florida to fade away. Once again, despite a relatively decent team game, the Arizona Coyotes could not secure a point.
The Colorado Avalanche tallied one goal per period in their 3-1 victory over the Coyotes on Monday night at the Pepsi Center in Denver. Arizona's loss came in their own broadcast on NBC Sports Network this season.
