I’m going to try and keep this recap fairly brief because that was a pretty terrible game and I’m pretty sure nobody watched/cared anyways. Here are my observations from the game.
- The Coyotes got ahead early with a classic Flames goal against as a defensive turnover allowed for the Coyotes to get a weak shot through that was deflected and beat Gillies
- The Flames pushed pretty hard after the goal but couldn’t get anything past Raanta
- The Coyotes extended their lead late in the period when Kevin Connauton put a nice wrist shot on net that got through the traffic in front and right into the top corner.
