You don’t just waltz into Joe Louis Arena and emerge with a win. But believe it, or not, the Arizona Coyotes did just that.
Despite having one of the best home records in the Eastern Conference, the Red Wings couldn’t snatch victory away from Arizona in overtime, as center Mark Arcobello’s goal with 3:08 remaining in the extra period gave the ‘Yotes the 5-4 win.
Arcobello’s game-winner was his second goal of the game, joining right-winger David Moss as other multi-goal scorer for the Coyotes Tuesday night.
