Game Recap
It’s only fitting that the St. Louis Blues would force a tie-breaking Game 7 against the Arizona Coyotes in this bizarre stretch. It’s a spoiled debut for Arizona’s Reverse Retro threads, though the Coyotes offense certainly appeared comfortable throughout Saturday night. In a night full of scoring, both teams walk away with a point in the 5-4 overtime match.
Conor Garland got the scoring started real quick, only 21 seconds in, pick-pocketing Torrey Krug in the high slot before beating Binnington on his stick side with a wrister. The unassisted tally is his team-leading 14th point, breaking his tie with Christian Dvorak.
