The Arizona Coyotes needed a win tonight in the worst way. They have struggled to score and dropped their past five games. And while tonight doesn’t fix that, it should give them some confidence as they come home.
Like the last game, Arizona started the scoring early. This time it was just under three minutes in the game.
Derrick Brassard won a faceoff in the offensive zone and went straight to the front of the net. And when Jakob Chychrun fired the puck from the blue line, Brassard redirected the shot past Ryan Miller to give the Coyotes an early lead.
