Coming in to Tuesday night’s tilt against the Dallas Stars, the Arizona Coyotes hadn’t been able to buy a win this season, sitting at 0-4-1. The Stars have been trying to pull to even in their record.
The Coyotes also made the decision to play their rookie goalie, Adin Hill. Both circumstances (rookie goalie, being winless) would make any team a little desperate for a win, which the Stars have had trouble responding to well in the past.
Thankfully, while the play wasn’t always pretty, the Stars were still able to pull out the win.
