Nicklas Grossmann: offensive juggernaut.
The veteran defenseman scored twice for the Arizona Coyotes to lead them to a 4-2 victory over the Colorado Avalanche Thursday night at Gila River Arena in Glendale.
Scoring Summary
First Period
1-0 Arizona: Grossmann's first of the season came through traffic after his partner Connor Murphy missed the net on a point shot seconds before. Assists to Mikkel Boedker and Murphy on the goal at 7:05.
Second Period
2-0 Arizona: The Coyotes double their lead on a soft goal from outside the faceoff circle that Semyon Varlamov flat-out missed.
