The Arizona Coyotes were getting shots, stopping shots and frustrating an opponent by playing tighter on defense.
But one defensive breakdown allowed the Philadelphia Flyers a chance, and they took advantage. Travis Konecny skated around Arizona's Ilya Lyubushkin, fed an open Sean Couturier who had gotten past the Coyotes' Andrew Ladd, and Couturier scored the game's decisive goal at 6:54 of the third period.
The Flyers then poured it on, winning 3-0. They scored right after Coyotes goaltender Karel Vejmelka tried to depart the crease for an extra attacker, and then seconds later on an empty-net goal.
