After coming back twice, the Arizona Coyotes fell 3-2 in overtime against the Montréal Canadiens. It was a closer matchup than the first time they met, but not close enough for the Desert Dogs.
The Coyotes came out ready to play and had a solid first period against the Canadiens. The two power plays undoubtedly helped, but the first 20 minutes ended with the Coyotes outshooting the Canadiens 17-5.
Unfortunately, we have seen the problems that can happen when the Coyotes are playing well but can’t convert, and it happened again last night.
After a period of being thoroughly outshot, the Canadiens got on the board less than a minute into the second, with Cole Caufield getting his 19th of the season.
