GLENDALE – One could easily have written the Arizona Coyotes off multiple times this season.
After a 5-1 blowout loss Friday and a 2-0 deficit through 20 minutes Saturday night against the Minnesota Wild at Gila River Arena, the Coyotes were in danger of chalking up another disappointing defeat on their home ice.
Turns out Coyotes forward John Hayden had other plans.
Moments after Minnesota forward Jordan Greenway sniped his team’s second goal, going top shelf past Darcy Kuemper following a neutral zone turnover, Hayden immediately jumped over the boards for an ensuing shift and dropped the gloves with a tough customer: Minnesota’s 6-foot-3, 223-pound wing Marcus Foligno.
