The NHL came to Tucson Monday night when the Arizona Coyotes took on the visiting Anaheim Ducks. The Coyotes had a lead for most of the 60 minutes, but slipped in the third to lose 6-4.
It was the young guns that shined for both teams. Twenty-one year old Nick Ritchie notched two goals for the Ducks - the highest on the team, and Dylan Strome stood out with two points, one goal and one assist.
The Ducks played to their strengths, speed and grit. The Coyotes came out of the doors fast and hard, equalling the play of Anaheim, but the tables were soon turned as the Ducks pressured in both their offensive and defensive zones.
