Arizona Coyotes defense plays well, but the offense was nearly non-existent in 1 to 0 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights.
One day before the NHL trade deadline, the 5th place Arizona Coyotes (19-18-5 43 pts) lost their third straight game, and the 2nd in a row, to the second place Vegas Golden Knights (27-11-2 56 pts).
The work ethic and effort were finally there right from the beginning for the Arizona Coyotes, which was a pleasant but not wholly unexpected surprise.
