The Arizona Coyotes had another rough night, falling 4-2 to the visiting Nashville Predators. A slow start doomed the Coyotes, who fell behind early and could not catch up in the final period.
Nashville opened up the scoring less than a minute into the game. The Predators came in with numbers, and Mattias Ekholm knocked a rebound past Karel Vejmelka, giving the Predators a 1-0 lead just 56 seconds after puck drop.
The early goal led to an early fight, with Liam O’Brien and Mark Borowiecki dropping the gloves on the next faceoff. That set the tone for a game that saw a lot of fighting and many penalties.
