For perhaps their final game at Gila River Arena the Colorado Avalanche traveled to visit the Arizona Coyotes and wrap-up what has been a surprisingly challenging season series with the new Central division rival. It was Arizona who found the upper hand and held on to give the Avalanche just their 11th regulation defeat in a 2-1 final.
The Game
Truly nothing happened in this game through the first period, not even a penalty call for either team. The Avalanche got a couple looks and 12 shots on goal but it was a pretty tepid start for both teams.
