The Coyotes and the Blues are in a unique circumstance playing each other six times in a row this season due to COVID-19 in the NHL.

The Blues Ryan O’Reilly got his second of the night making it 3-2 in the third period.
The Coyotes tied it up with .02 seconds left in the game with a shot from Clayton Keller.

Nick Schmaltz shot and missed against Jordan Binnington.

Play of the Game
Clayton Keller’s goal with .02 seconds left in the game. The heads up play by Christian Dvorak, with the spin-o-rama pass to Keller really made the play pop.
Player of the Game
Clayton Keller for his amazing play during this series and his goal with .02 seconds left. Keller plays big against the St. Louis Blues each time they play.
