Game Recap

The Arizona Coyotes fell 8-2 to the Edmonton Oilers as the Yotes’ 14-game road trip finally ends.

Despite the score, this one does not fall on the shoulders of Connor Ingram. The Coyotes were sloppy 5-on-5, took X penalties, and were outshot 30-10 after 40 minutes. Ingram wasn’t perfect, but he kept the team in it longer than they had any right to be.

Jack McBain got the Coyotes’ first goal when he forced his way to the front of the net after picking up a pass from Christian Fischer.

But Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored 23 seconds later, killing any hope of a comeback.

Arizona managed a second goal when Shayne Gostisbehere redirected a Christian Fischer shot late in the game 4-on-4.

By the time Ghost scored, the Oilers were already up 8, so it was mostly for pride. But if you have nothing else to play for might as well play for pride.

But at least the road trip is over.
