The result? Exactly the same thing we have seen all season.
The Coyotes owned the play for much of the game. Stretches of time (12 minutes in the third period) without a single shot on goal. Giving up 18 SOG to the Yotes in the first period likely wasn't a great way to start. The Wild would show flashes of wanting to arrive for the game, but each time they did, the Coyotes found another gear and held it long enough to shut the Wild down yet again.
Guess not.
Zach parise would answer the Yotes with a goal of his own, but it was, once again, too little, too late. The Wild had nothing going for them at all, and the Coyotes just kept finding way to win the battles. Everything the Wild did came up with the same result. Nothing.
Even two third period power plays would result in... zero shots on goal. Zero. As in... none. Less than one. Zippo. Zilch. Nada. As many as your grandma had.
That's it from the desert, folks. Wild lose on the road. Again. Going to be a short season if they can't figure out how to play on the road.
