Game Recap
The 2020-21 season is over for the Arizona Coyotes. It didn’t end the way anyone wanted, and the Desert Dogs won’t be advancing to the playoffs, but it ended with a bit of hope.
Tonight wasn’t the Coyotes’ best game of the season. Arizona was far from perfect, and if it were any other night, there would be plenty of issues we could examine.
But since the season is ending with back-to-back wins against the San Jose Sharks, why not focus on the good. It was a fun game, and the Coyotes’ weak spots just made it more fun.
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) â Phil Kessel scored the go-ahead goal for his 900th career point and Victor Soderstrom and Jan Jenik each scored their first NHL goals as the Arizona Coyotes beat the San Jose Sharks 5-2 on Friday night.
Conor Garland added a goal and two assists for Arizona, which also benefited from an overturned San Jose goal that would have tied it in the third.
Kessel scored a breakaway goal to snap a 2-2 at 4:53 of the third, just minutes after being denied by Sharks goalie Josef Korenar on a similar play. It was Kesselâs ninth goal against the Sharks this season. Heâs the first opponent to ever score that many against San Jose.
