The Canes came into Arizona hoping a little rest would lead to a quick jump against the Arizona Coyotes. Instead, they were outworked in nearly every facet of the game early, but rallied back to tie the game and take a point.
In the end, Clayton Keller found Michael Grabner in overtime to sent Carolina to a 4-3 loss in overtime. But those who lived to see the whole game may find that a blessing after the sloppy first period.
In reality, the first period was a snoozer for much of the first ten minutes, then the Coyotes exploited the Canes to grab a sizeable lead.
