The Arizona Coyotes 2022-23 season is off to a rough start. A slow start doomed the Desert Dogs, who gave up three goals in the first five minutes and ten seconds before falling 6-2 to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The first five and a half minutes against the Penguins was as bad a start as you can imagine for a hockey game. Sidney Crosby got Pittsburgh on the board just 82 seconds into the game, and it wasn’t long before the Penguins had a 3-0 lead.
Penalties and special teams would prove to be a significant factor in tonight’s game.
