Though not as high scoring as their previous game against the San Jose Sharks, the Arizona Coyotes’ meeting with the Nashville Predator checked all the boxes for a modern Desert Dog tragedy:
- Arizona played a pitiful first period, registering few shots on goal.
- They take a (double) minor penalty but their strong PK unit kills it, creating hope.
- The opposition scores, late in a period. This time it was the second period.
- The Coyotes tied it up in the dying moments of the same period! Ok, this was a bit of a twist on the narrative.
