The Arizona Coyotes seemingly did everything they could to limit the potent Colorado Avalanche offense. They and 22-year-old goalie Ivan Prosvetov, in his first NHL starts, held the league's highest-scoring team to three goals plus an empty-netter on 20 shots.
On offense, the Coyotes battled back with two third-period goals and gave themselves a chance to get at least a point in the standings. But they came up short in a 4-2 loss to the Avalanche Monday night in the second of back-to-back games.
Michael Bunting scored his sixth goal in only eight games played this season, and Johan Larsson followed with his seventh of the season.
