The Coyotes fell out of playoff position after dropping both games in a back-to-back through Dallas and St. Louis. The Republic | azcentral.com
Connor McDavid, perhaps hockey’s most talented player, said it “felt as if there were seven guys out there” after the Coyotes shut out the Edmonton Oilers’ high-flying offense in a 3-0 win on Feb. 4 at Gila River Arena.
Juxtapose that high praise with comments made after the Coyotes allowed 46 shots and managed a season-low 14 of their own in a 1-0 road loss to the St. Louis Blues on Thursday. Speaking to reporters after the game, Blues goaltender Jordan Binnginton said he “didn’t even realize it was a real game” and that he was “just kind of chillin’ back there” in his crease.
