Coyotes drop final game before Christmas Break, lose 4-1 to Avalanche
©Timothy T. Ludwig-USA TODAY SportsRight before a three-day Christmas Break, the Arizona Coyotes fell 4-1 to the Central Division leaders, the Colorado Avalanche.
A few seconds after a power play expired, Bowen Byram received a pass from Ross Colton, fired a shot through two Coyote defenders and scored 8:37 into the first period.
On the other end of the ice, Alexandar Georgiev denied almost any opportunity from the ‘Yotes that came his way, saving 24-of-25 shots he faced.
Arizona ended the first-20 minutes of play by outshooting the Avalanche 12-8, but the Coyotes would see the momentum fall out of their grasp.
