The streak had to come to an end sooner or later. The Arizona Coyotes faced off against the Pittsburgh Penguins the day after a 3-1 win against the Philadelphia Flyers and were unable to get another two points. The loss moves the Coyotes down to the second spot in the Pacific, but they are still very much in the race for the top.
Friday was an extremely low-scoring affair. The first goal of the game came at 7:13 into the third period when Evgeni Malkin got his seventh of the season.
