Hinostroza scores, Kuemper strong as Coyotes close out the preseason

Closing the door on the preseason Saturday night against the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center, the Coyotes came up just short in a tightly contested exhibition finale, edged on the scoreboard by a 2-1 count.
It'll be the same opponent, the Ducks, and the same setting, Honda Center, for the Coyotes on Thursday evening when they open their 2019-20 regular season schedule.
Arizona finished the preseason with a 4-3 record, outscoring its opponents by a combined 20-19 margin.

Vinnie Hinostroza gave the Coyotes an early advantage when he jolted past coverage and received a pass from Jason Demers to break in alone, scoring with a shot low to the glove side.
Hinostroza's goal, his second of the preseason, gave Arizona a 1-0 lead seven minutes into the game.
The Ducks would score twice; once in the late stages of the second period and again early in the third to take a 2-1 lead, the night's eventual final score.
Darcy Kuemper stopped 35 of the 37 shots he faced.
Six players, including Hinostroza, finished the preseason with two goals: Clayton Keller, Conor Garland, Michael Bunting, Carl Soderberg, and Derek Stepan.
Keller (2G, 2A) and Christian Dvorak (1G, 3A) led Arizona in preseason points with four apiece.
