The Arizona Coyotes dropped their third straight game tonight, falling 3-1 to the Dallas Stars. And just like the Coyotes’ recent 7-1 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights, tonight’s game felt like a step back.
Arizona set the pace early when Travis Boyd was called for tripping just over three minutes into the game. The Coyotes were able to kill that one, and the next one midway through the first when Kyle Capobianco was off for tripping. They even got lucky when the referees missed a high-sticking call on the first faceoff of the Capobianco penalty, sparring them a two-minute 5-on-3.
