While the Coyotes haven’t fared well when playing behind in the skid, the offense rallied in Keller’s absence and posted big goals to keep the game from slipping away, ending in a 5-3 loss on Thursda…
The first period provided an overwhelming start, but the Coyotes escaped with just two goals surrendered. A defensive miscue up front by the Coyotes following Tim Stützle's initial shot left Brady Tkachuk alone to ring in the 1-0 lead at 7:49.
The Coyotes have had the unenviable task of being shorthanded four times in the period, including a five-minute major from Keller’s cross-checking call. Derick Brassard jammed the puck into the net, causing Vejmelka’s mask to fall off. The Coyotes challenged for goaltender interference, but lost the challenge after the review showed that Vejmelka’s mask did not fall off before Brassard’s goal.
Dylan Guenther spearheaded most of the offensive chances by the Coyotes in Keller’s absence and nearly scored with 38.5 seconds left in the first period after rebounding Nick Schmaltz’s attempt. His drive paid off in the second period when he was fed in the high slot by Christian Fischer and Juuso Valimaki at 8:45 in the second period.
