The Arizona Coyotes are facing a tough road trip. The Coyotes next six games against the top three teams in the division, and they desperately need points to climb back up the standings.
Things seemed to start off well. The Coyotes controlled the first fifteen minutes, and Christian Dvorak gave them the lead just over halfway through the opening period. Things were trending well for the Desert Dogs, but that would not last.
St. Louis seemed to come alive late in the first. They were able to capitalize when Alex Goligoski got tripped up at the blue line, and Mike Hoffman tied it up with just over two and a half minutes left in the first.
