Avs get shut out for first time this season with loss to Coyotes

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Darcy Kuemper stopped 33 shots in his first shutout of the season, Phil Kessel had a goal and an assist and Conor Garland scored his team-high seventh goal as the Arizona Coyotes beat the Colorado Avalanche 3-0 Saturday night.

Christian Dvorak also scored for Arizona, which dealt Colorado its fourth straight loss.

Kessel had a goal and an assist in the first period, and his wrist shot from a seemingly impossible angle along the red line to the left of Avalanche goaltender Pavel Francouz gave the Coyotes a 2-0 lead late in the period.
