The Arizona Coyotes needed a bounceback game tonight. Last week they lost two key players to season-ending injuries, and they are just two days removed from an embarrassing 5-0 loss to the Anaheim Ducks. But, thankfully, the Coyotes came to play and won the first game of a back-to-back tonight against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Arizona started the game with pressure, but it didn’t take long for the Blackhawks to take control. A minute into the game, Alex DeBrincat picked up a flying puck in the neutral zone and passed it up to Dylan Strome.
