Coyotes 1, Kings 0

Two bad plays...one by Jack Johnson, who turned over the puck trying to get it out of the Kings' zone. That led to a 2-on-1 with Reinprecht and Doan. Blake effectively took Doan out of the play in front of the net, which left Reinprecht vs. Aubin in front, and Reinprecht beat Aubin with a low wrister that went five-hole, I believe. It's tough to stop anyone one-on-one, but...

The goal came with 8:49 remaining in the first period.
