The Arizona Coyotes didn’t deserve the point they won tonight. The Avalanche outplayed them every second of the game, and if not for the play of Antti Raanta, it would have been an absolute blowout.
Colorado came out like they were actually ready to play and applied a lot of pressure early on. They had three shots on goal in the opening minute and converted a minute a half in when Brandon Saad was allowed to skate in all alone in front of the net. It was not going to be the Coyotes’ night.
Fortunately for the Coyotes, Raanta is an outstanding goaltender.
