Avalanche reduce Coyotes to playoff form in 6-2 desert win

Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog, and company made sure not to make that mistake twice, though — while they were a bit sluggish in the opening frame on Saturday night, they stormed out for the second and third periods and completely dominated offensively for a forty-minute stretch to skate away with a 6-2 final score.
