The Coyotes blew a lead for the fourth consecutive game and fell to the Minnesota Wild, 4-3, on Saturday at Gila River Arena
Coyotes winger Michael Grabner opened the scoring at 8:50 of the first period when Grabner attempted to shift a puck from his skate to his stick but ended up going right from the blade and into the net for a goal.
The Coyotes went up 2-0 when defenseman Jakob Chychrun tallied his second goal in as many games and fourth of the season at 12:40 of the first period. Effective forechecking from Phil Kessel and Christian Dvorak allowed the puck to find Nick Schmaltz, who found Chychrun all alone for the shot.
