Coyotes Triumph Over Red Wings with 4-1 Victory, Cooley Nets Short-Handed Goal

Thursday, March 14th, 2024

In the opening period for Arizona, newcomer Logan Cooley netted a short-handed goal, followed by Michael Carcone putting Arizona in the lead during the middle of the second period. Connor Ingram successfully blocked 28 shots for the Coyotes, coming off another victory against Detroit with a 4-0 score the week prior. Coach Andrew Tourigny commended their defensive play against Detroit's offensive pushes. Nick Bjugstad extended Arizona's lead to 3-1 in the third period, with Clayton Keller sealing the win with an empty-net goal towards the end of the matchup. "Our strategy was well executed," remarked Tourigny regarding the game plan. On the other side, the Red Wings are facing a challenging period, having lost their seventh consecutive match. Winger David Perron expressed the necessity for the team to make improvements. Despite a streak of six wins earlier, Detroit is currently feeling the absence of their injured captain, Dylan Larkin. Ben Chiarot, one of the defensemen, pointed out the team's faltering during this losing period. Arizona celebrated their fourth victory in their last 22 contests, with Detroit conceding a goal from the first shot on goal. For the Red Wings, Lucas Raymond managed to even the score with a power-play goal, though the team's offense continued to struggle. Detroit's goalie, Alex Lyon, stopped 23 shots. Cooley, chosen third in the 2022 draft, made an impressive mark by scoring during a Red Wings power play early on. This moment was notable as it's been 30 years since two players aged 20 or younger contributed to a short-handed goal in such a manner. Bjugstad lauded both Cooley and his teammate Dylan Guenther, who assisted on the goal, foreseeing their significant impact in the league. Looking ahead: The Coyotes are set to welcome New Jersey on Saturday. The Red Wings will be hosting Buffalo on the same day.
