They say that insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results. The Arizona Coyotes disproved that idea today. If you thought the Coyotes would get the same result playing the same way they did against the Montréal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators against the Pittsburgh Penguins, you might be insane.
Arizona had a decent start, but that didn’t last long. Early on, the Coyotes were outshooting the Penguins 5-4, but when Dysin Mayo was sent to the box for interference, things quickly changed. Mayo was called for interference at 7:58, and Arizona did not register another shot for the rest for the period.
