After dropping two games to the Los Angeles Kings in five days, the Arizona Coyotes needed a solid bounce-back game. The Coyotes have some tough competition this week, and they could use some momentum going into those games. Thankfully, they got that win, with the Desert Dogs beating the Vegas Golden Knights 3-1.
Despite the ending, the Coyotes did not have a good start. Nick Ritchie started his career as a Coyote well with a big hit only to be sent to the box for interference that same shift. Less than two minutes in, the Coyotes were already on the penalty kill.
