The Arizona Coyotes have been off to a hot start in March, most recently taking a victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs in overtime. Last night, they visited the Boston Bruins to try to extend that streak but found themselves on the losing end of a very close 3-2 game.
The Coyotes started out very strong, taking a lot of chances early and putting a lot of pucks on net. A few defensive zone turnovers led to some Boston opportunities, but both goalies were putting in work early.
But then, when the Bruins found themselves getting some pressure after the Coyotes’ initial barrage, Craig Smith found a rebound off Vejmelka and put the second chance past the goalie to open up the scoring making it 1-0 Boston.
