Familiar issues cost Coyotes in loss to Kings

“The Coyotes wasted some good special teams play, too, in a game that featured 11 power plays. Arizona’s power play went 2 for 6 with Martin Hanzal scoring both goals. The penalty killing unit held Los Angeles scoreless, but the Kings outplayed Arizona in 5-on-5 time.”

Los Angeles Kings pull away in third to edge Arizona Coyotes

“Instead, their lapses with the puck continued to sabotage their chances as the Coyotes fell 4-3 in front of 11,327 at Gila River Arena to wrap their eight-game run against the Pacific Division at 3-2-3 and snap their three-game point streak.”

Arizona Coyotes fall to Los Angeles Kings in high scoring affair

“The Coyotes were gifted a late period power play by Nick Shore, who blatantly held up Martin Hanzal behind the Los Angeles goal. It was Hanzal who ultimately cashed in for the Coyotes with a beautiful wrist shot from the far-side faceoff circle.”
