Arizona Coyotes penalties and failure to convert on scoring chances on Friday night resulted in a 4 to 0 shutout loss to the Minnesota Wild.
It was Adin Hill vs. Cam Talbot in goal for Game 1 of the Arizona Coyotes (12-11-4) three-game series with the third-place Minnesota Wild (16-8-1), and it was Talbot that won the battle.
Although the Coyotes had the run of the play early on and spent considerable time in their offensive end (outshooting the Wild 9 to 8 in the first period), they couldn’t score.
