The Arizona Coyotes didn’t have much chance going into last night’s game. They weren’t the most skilled team, and injuries have decimated them as the season has gone on. So it should come as no surprise that the Desert Dogs fell 5-1 to the Vancouver Canucks last night.
Special teams were a significant factor in last night’s game. The Canucks were able to get on the board just over three minutes into the game thanks to a power play goal from Alex Chiasson, his eighth goal of the season. Arizona did have a chance to even things up when they got their first power play just under five minutes in, but the Canucks killed the penalty, and play resumed.
