The force was not with the Arizona Coyotes.
Arizona fell in a shootout to the streaking Columbus Blue Jackets, and now fall to 8-11-4 on the season.
The win secured a point in five straight games now for the Blue Jackets. They are now 8-1-2 in their last 11 games.
Much like on Thursday against Los Angeles, the scoring started within 30 seconds.
This time, it was the Blue Jackets who struck first. Boone Jenner snapped his shot over the blocker of Mike Smith to give Columbus the early lead.
The first period has not been friendly to the Coyotes, and it wasn’t yet again on Saturday.
