You can pretty much guarantee an action-packed, physical game whenever the Los Angeles Kings and Coyotes get together for their Pacific Division matchups, and last night was no different.
From the opening face-off, play continued without a whistle being blown until Conor Garland scored his 10th goal of the season. A twisting Christian Dvorak assisted on the goal by dishing a highlight reel caliber back-handed pass to Garland, who was approaching the net from the circle to the goalkeeper’s left.
The Coyotes had already established their relentless forecheck earlier in the game, which wreaked havoc in the Kings’ “D” zone.
