Arizona did not play their best hockey game last night, despite a strong start once again. The narrative, as usual, was that the team scored earlier and often. After a mediocre first period where the team failed to get much done, despite one goal by Clayton Keller, the team really broke through in the second.
The Coyotes got two great goals to start the second period from Michael Grabner on a breakaway finally and Christian Fischer on a one-timer. Arizona seemed to be rolling along in this game after scoring twice, but then they looked at the scoreboard.
