Thursday was always going to be a difficult matchup for the Arizona Coyotes. After seven straight games against the St. Louis Blues, they had to switch gears and play the Los Angeles Kings. Things did not turn out well.
Los Angeles outworked and outplayed the Coyotes through most of the games. The Coyotes had a few stretches in the second and in overtime where they looked okay, but it was the Kings in control of the game.
Arizona managed to find success against the Blues when they took control of the game.
