The Vancouver Canucks played their last of a 14-game road trip tonight against their western conference rivals the Phoenix Coyotes. Playing that many road games in succession is an exhausting task, but the exhaustion did not show in the Canucks' game. Though they lost in a two-round shootout, the Canucks battled fiercely against the Coyotes, who are riding their coat tails in both conference and league standings.
Each team scored a goal in all three periods, and the scoreboard remained even all the way to the shootout. It was Mason Raymond of the Canucks whose missed shot on goal allowed the Coyotes to walk away with the 4-3 win.
The Coyotes' win brings them to a tie at the 4th spot in the league, just edging past the Pittsburgh Penguins.
