The Arizona Coyotes and Colorado Avalanche played the first game of a back-to-back, and it did not go the way most people predicted. The Avalanche are one of the top teams while the Yotes are hoping to win the draft lottery; it should have been no contest. But thanks to a complete effort and fantastic goaltending, Arizona bounced back from a 2-0 deficit and walked away with a point after falling in the shootout.
Colorado came out fast, and it didn’t take long for them to get on the board. Four and a half minutes into the game, the Avalanche brought the puck in and set up.
