Things started so well for the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday. They scored twice in the first 2:12 of the first period and looked like they were going to coast to an easy win. But unfortunatel,y things would go downhill from there.
Both Nick Schmaltz and Derek Stepan got their fifth goal of the season at even strength in the early minutes of the first period. Schmaltz has generated a lot of offense this season, but most of it has come from assists, and Christian Dvorak and Conor Garland had assists in the goal.
