The Coyotes have lost their fair share of games this season, but Saturday’s loss left a sting like no other.
After trailing 2-0 to the Pittsburgh Penguins late in the second period, the Coyotes rallied in the third to tie the game at two goals apiece after playing their best period of the game. But Penguins defenseman Olli Maatta found the net with 14 seconds left as Arizona lost its sixth straight on Saturday at Gila River Arena.
“It’s tough,” Coyotes head coach Rick Tocchet said. “A lot of guys are down … it’s 14 seconds. I thought our third period was our best period and we didn’t really give them that much.
