The Arizona Coyotes were looking to finish their five game home-stand with a win against the Calgary Flames and their former goaltender Mike Smith this past Monday. After losing 3-2 to the Nashville Predators and 3-1 against the Minnesota Wild the Coyotes’ opponent was a team that was deep in the hunt for a wild card spot and should have proved to be one of their toughest games of the new year.
The Coyotes scored first early in the second period with a goal from Richard Panik, however Calgary was able to tie the game and gain the lead with goals from Dougie Hamilton and Sean Monahan.
