Yesterday the Arizona Coyotes returned home from a road trip to continue their series against the St. Louis Blues. It did not go as planned, with the Desert Dogs falling 4-1 to the Blues.
The score does not reflect how close the game ended up being. The Coyotes pulled Darcy Kuemper twice, and the Blues scored two empty-net goals, inflating the loss.
Like the previous game, the Blues managed to strike first. The Coyotes scored first in three of the five games played and won two of those. Arizona showed that they have what it takes to come back against the Blues, but it is best not to test that.
