Maybe it was Dylan Strome’s first goal of the season that opened the floodgates in the first period and took the pressure off the rest of the bench, but the second Coyotes goal will likely be just as indicative of how they will find success this season.
The Coyotes are a team that relies on defense and limiting chances. Because they do not have a superstar on their roster — or not yet, at least — their system requires all 12 forwards and six defensemen to be playing well if they have a chance to win.
