Arizona Coyotes roll along early but lose steam in third period in disappointing defeat to Kings, 4 to 3.The Arizona Coyotes (19-16-5 43 pts) knew they were engaging in an important game with the Los Angeles Kings (15-17-6 36 pts) on Wednesday night. The black and silver clad boys’ backs were against the wall and they needed to get off their collective butts and actually compete with the determined, streaking Desert Dogs.
They didn’t sleep well, you see, because both Drew Doughty and coach Todd McLellan weren’t shy about stating that their team wasn’t worthy of the playoffs because of their lackluster effort against their nemesis, the Yotes, on Monday night.
