The Arizona Coyotes snapped a losing streak before it began with a 3-2 overtime win over the Chicago Blackhawks last night. It required a second-period comeback, but the Coyotes won against a division rival.
Special teams played a huge role in the Coyotes’ comeback yesterday. Thanks to a third-period power play goal, the Blackhawks were able to tie things up, and the Yotes scored with the man advantage in overtime. Unfortunately, the Coyotes’ special teams weren’t great when the team was healthy, and they have lost some key pieces to both their penalty kill and their power play to injuries.
