The Arizona Coyotes needed this game in the worst way. They had been struggling as of late, dropping out of a playoff spot amid a five-game losing streak. But a win tonight puts them right back in the hunt and gives them momentum to build off.
But things didn’t start well for the Yotes in this afternoon’s matchup against the St. Louis Blues. The Blues started with all the energy, and it looked like the Coyotes were going to be in trouble.
St. Louis got the scoring started early, with Sammy Blais getting his sixth of the season less than a minute and a half in.
