• Bobrovsky stopped all 35 shots the Coyotes took, including four each by Brendan Perlini and Jakob Chychrun.
"We played hard," Tocchet said. "We had some chances to win the game ... They're a good team. Bobrovsky is a hell of a goalie ... They played a good defensive game. You've got to give them credit."
• Raanta was sidelined for two weeks and a day after colliding with San Jose's Logan Couture and suffering an upper-body injury on Nov. 22. On Saturday, he absorbed a similar hit in the crease by Matt Calvert early in the second period. Raanta was not fazed by the collision with Calvert and didn't miss a beat.
"I think that was just a hockey play," Raanta said. "…It wasn't that bad. I kind of was anticipating that so it was a little easier to take."
Nevertheless, Max Domi took exception to Calvert's hit on Raanta, and he and Calvert swapped some pushes and shoves later in the period.
"That's what we need," Raanta said. "We need to have heart in our game. Sometimes you need to push your limits a little bit. I'm not saying you need to fight, but the whole team needs to be like that. You can't have any passengers on this team. If we want to win we need everybody in there. Max was showing heart there."
• Trailing 1-0, the Coyotes received a break when Artemi Panarin was called for hooking and high sticking Oliver Ekman-Larsson with 2:53 left in the third period. Arizona nearly tied the score on the ensuing power play when Clayton Keller, seeking his first goal since Nov. 6, hit the crossbar with a shot with 2:18 left.
"The first part of that power play we were a little bit sluggish, but at the end, when we got set up, we had some Grade A chances," Domi said. "Keller hit the crossbar there. That could have easily gone in ... I thought, for the most part, honestly, we outplayed them. It would have been nice if we got a couple of goals on the power play."
