For the Coyotes, Thursday’s game featured a wide range of emotions — from the bench breaking out into laughter, to their goaltender chewing them out.
But when the smoke cleared, the Coyotes emerged victorious with a 5-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens at Gila River Arena. It was Arizona’s third straight win and fifth straight game earning at least one point.
Rookie Clayton Keller registered a career-high four points, and Brendan Perlini scored twice in the span of 19 seconds as the Coyotes held off a third-period comeback on Thursday. The Canadiens, on the second night of a back-to-back after playing at Colorado on Wednesday, lost their fourth straight.
