Arizona Coyotes return from bye refreshed in win over Wild
Jack McBain knew it wouldn’t be the prettiest goal, but he had to do everything in his will to send the puck after Christian Fischer grabbed a turnover from the Minnesota Wild.
McBain went off to the races from the Arizona Coyotes’ zone and finished off with a slick backhand to beat out Wild goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury in the third period.
His goal was not only the game-winner in Monday’s 3-2 win at Mullett Arena, but came against the initial team that drafted him in 2018. McBain chose not to sign with the Wild following the end of his college career and was traded to the Coyotes last season.
