Two glaring mistakes gifted the Philadelphia Flyers goals, and the Coyotes allowed a power play goal for the fourth straight game in losing their fifth consecutive game, 5-3 on Saturday night at Gila River Arena.
It didn't help that the Coyotes were missing two regulars, most notably defenseman Jakob Chychrun, due to upper body injuries. They tied the game twice, but gave up two unanswered goals in the second period and couldn't rally again.
Jay Beagle and Nick Schmaltz scored their first goals of the season, in their second games back from injury. Lawson Crouse added his sixth goal and Cam Dineen assisted on two goals in his first game since Nov.
