On Thursday the Arizona Coyotes returned to the ice for the first time since the NHL regular season was cut short by the global pandemic Covid-19. The Coyotes lost the exhibition game against the Vegas Golden Knights, but they will need to shake that out of their minds as they prepare for their best-of-five series against the Nashville Predators.
Arizona had a quick start against the Golden Knights but it lasted only a few minutes. Five minutes in the Coyotes lost control, and by the end of the first period, they were down 2-0 after allowing a short-handed and power play goal.
