Due to another rough third period performance, the Arizona Coyotes (19-16-2) suffered a 5-1 defeat to the New York Islanders (18-10-10).
The Coyotes ran into a similar issue against New York like when the Florida Panthers beat them 4-1 on Tuesday: allowing two goals in less than a minute span in the third period, zapping any possibility of a potential comeback.
It did not take long for the Islanders to score after Coyotes center Nick Bjugstad took a penalty 7:45 into the contest.
0:11 later, Horvat was left alone in the slot and fired his 15th goal of the season to give New York a 1-0 lead.
