GLENDALE, AZ (AP) — Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 36 shots, Mike Hoffman scored for the third straight game and the Florida Panthers spoiled Darcy Kuemper’s return with a 2-1 win over the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday night.
Florida allowed 10 total goals in back-to-back losses to the Kings and Golden Knights before arriving in the desert, but played a much tighter defensive game against the Coyotes.
“Today was a team win. They blocked shots, they finished checks, they back checked,” Bobrovsky said. “It was smart defense, smart puck management.”
Kuemper was solid in his return after missing 28 games with a lower-body injury, stopping 23 shots.
