The Arizona Coyotes readied themselves for a much larger challenge in the Dallas Stars after disposing of the slumping Montreal Canadians, but unexpectedly and with much satisfaction came away with a 6-3 victory over the Stars.
The scoreline wasn't an accurate representation of how close the game between the former divisional rivals was, as each team recorded over 35 shots on net and shared time with the lead.
Thankfully, Arizona pulled away in the third period, scoring 3 goals on only 8 shots. In comparison, Dallas who continued to try to get themselves back in the game only scored once off 17 shots in the same time frame.
