The Arizona Coyotes' recent search for more scoring didn't end Sunday afternoon in Minnesota.
The Coyotes couldn't hold a 1-0 lead and gave up four unanswered goals in a 4-1 loss to the Wild. Arizona has managed just two goals in the past three games, all losses, and the Coyotes' 2.43 goals per game average has them in the bottom five in the NHL in that category.
Phil Kessel scored the Coyotes' only goal, unassisted in the first period. Goalie Antti Raanta stopped 31 shots.
Kessel scored his first goal in eight games after Lawson Crouse picked up a loose puck off a turnover and centered toward Kessel.
