After winning at Ottawa last Tuesday night, the Coyotes looked forward to the short flight, 30 minutes or so, to Montreal for a game the next evening. But things did not go as planned, which could be the title of a Coyotes’ midseason highlight film, should someone care enough to make one.

But here’s the news: No one complained. Players, in fact, picked up their bags and cracked jokes as they piled into the crowded bus.
