Nobody had high hopes for tonight’s game. The Arizona Coyotes had dropped their last five, while the Colorado Avalanche were riding a ten-game winning streak. The Avalanche are comfortably on top of the Central Division, while the Coyotes have spent all season at the bottom. But despite falling behind twice, the Coyotes were able to force the game into the shootout and walk away the victors, having beaten the Avalanche 3-2.
Things started pretty slow tonight, with neither team able to get much of a footing. The Coyotes had an early power play just over five minutes into the period but failed to register a shot on goal with the man advantage.
