Phoenix Coyotes loss to St. Louis Blues: By The Numbers

With Tuesday’s 2-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues, the Phoenix Coyotes have now lost four in a row. Oliver Ekman-Larsson was once again the Coyotes’ only scorer in the defeat, netting a power play goal late in the second period to get his team within a score of the hosting Blues, but the effort was isolated.

The Blues’ T.J. Oshie outscored Phoenix, himself, scoring in both the first and second periods while goaltender Jaroslav Havlak had 20 saves.
