The Arizona Coyotes knew they were going to have a tough matchup last night. The Vegas Golden Knights have played extremely well against the Coyotes in the past, and they were looking to get points after a slow start due to injuries.
The first period was rough, but probably still the Coyotes’ best. Vegas struck first when they took advantage of a bad line change and came in on a 2-on-1. Nicolas Roy beat Kyle Capobianco and passed the puck to Jonathan Marchessault, who stretched out Karel Vejmelka and put the puck into a wide-open net.
