Usually the Coyotes are the team that gets behind early, however last night was different. Arizona jumped out to an early lead.
Behind Shayne Gostisbehere and Lawson Crouse each scoring a goal, the Coyotes ended the first period with a 2-1 lead of the Avalanche.
Each period of the game, the Coyotes put up 2 goals per period. Six different players for Arizona chipped in with a goal last night.
Second Period mirrored the First
Two Coyotes scored in the second, while the Avalanche added one more goal themselves. Nick Schmaltz started the second period off with a goal for Arizona.
With the score 3-2 in the ‘Yotes favor, J.J Moser added to it with a goal of his own with about 4 minutes left in the 2nd period.
Third Period, some more of the Same
Every period, the Arizona Coyotes scored 2 goals, while the Avalanche scored 1.
Same thing happened in the third. Michael Carcone hit the back of the net first in the 3rd period giving Arizona a 5-2 lead, and almost sealing the deal.
After Colorado scored again, giving them a chance. Clayton Keller added an exclamation point, giving the ‘Yotes a 6-3 lead that would count as the final.
Arizona Coyotes beat the Colorado Avalanche 6-3. Arizona improve to 12-16-5 on the season. While Colorado falls to 19-12-2.
Coyotes take on the Maple Leafs Thursday Night.
