From the initial puck drop, the Arizona Coyotes set a relentless pace that would continue throughout all three periods of play. The first period ended with a modest lead as they put up one goal against none from the visiting team. This early advantage was just a hint of what was to come as they entered into the second period with confidence and determination.


In an impressive display of offensive capability, the Coyotes doubled their lead by adding two more goals in the second period while maintaining their defensive integrity to keep the Blues scoreless once again. By this point, it was clear that Arizona had taken control of both ends of the rink.


The final period saw no let-up from Arizona as they continued to apply pressure and added another two goals to their tally. Meanwhile, despite being down, St. Louis managed to avoid a shutout by scoring once during this last stretch of play; however, it did little to change the outcome as they were already facing a substantial deficit.


Key players for Arizona shone throughout this matchup; each line contributed significantly on offense and defense alike without any single player dominating too much spotlight – showcasing true teamwork and depth within their roster.


Looking ahead for fans of Arizona hockey: The next challenge for your team will be against Los Angeles Kings at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on September 24th at 4:05 AM local time (adjust for your timezone).
