Because of two coaches challenges going in their favor against the San José Sharks, the Arizona Coyotes were preserve a 1-0 victory at Mullett Arena tonight.
This was a battle between two inconsistent offenses with San Jose being the lowest scoring team in the NHL (74 goals) and Arizona only having eight in their last four games coming in.
The theme embodied this matchup throughout the evening, though there were prime scoring chances created by both squads.
Implementing pressure early, Coyotes left wing Lawson Crouse found himself alone in the slot before missing wide twice.
San Jose would grasp the momentum for the rest of the initial frame after the first-7:00.
