Three goals in less than two minutes in the second period saw the Coyotes drop their opening game of the season, but the team performed far better than the scoreline suggests.
The Coyotes kept the Stars at bay for two full periods and even out-shot their opponents 30 to 25, Nick Cousins getting six by himself, with Dallas goaltender Ben Bishop standing firm to deny the Coyotes a solitary goal.
The fact the Coyotes out-shot the Stars is a big positive for the team’s offence moving forward, showing that the team is capable of producing plenty of goalscoring opportunities.
