Well, the marquee match up everyone expected to see between the Arizona Coyotes and the Tampa Bay Lightning was indeed exciting to watch – if you were a Lightning fan.

It seemed like an eternity since the desert dogs were last held to zero, zip, nada goals (December 6 actually). Puck luck was definitely on the side of the home team, and a few slices of humble pie were served to the deflated ‘Yotes between periods and again in the clubhouse post-game.
