The Arizona Coyotes played two-thirds of a good game on Saturday against the Vegas Golden Knights. Unfortunately, two-thirds of a good game wasn't enough and the Coyotes fell short, losing the game 4-2.
Arizona looked great for the first two periods. They not only had a 2-0 lead from a shorthanded goal from Tyler Pitlick and a power play goal from Nick Schmaltz but they were setting the pace of the game and were playing the right way.
Goaltender Robin Lehner really was a game-changer for Vegas. He kept them in the game and prevented the Coyotes from scoring on a few really good efforts.
