ST. LOUIS --The Coyotes gained a point and lots of confidence on Thursday night as they battled toe-to-toe with the St. Louis Blues, aka the best team in the Western Conference, at Scottrade Center.
Arizona lost, 3-2 in a shootout, but afterward the vibe in the dressing room was quite positive.
"I think it's one of the best games in the whole year that we have played," said goalie Antti Raanta, who stopped 36 of 38 shots over 65 minutes. "... Great work ethic from the whole team today. We got a day off yesterday and came really strong today. Everybody was fighting, working hard… We just need to keep on working, keep our heads up. If we can keep on this kind of work ethic in every game we go and play, we're going to get much more points."
