GLENDALE, ARIZ. — This may have been Game 6 of the Blues-Coyotes series, but it was also Game 2, the second of three games in Arizona, and it’s no secret how that has gone for the Blues.
The Blues were 1-4 in the second part of a series in one city, even if this Blues-Coyotes fest has long since seemed detached from reality. They overpowered that again through stick-to-it-iveness. In a game that seesawed back and forth before going to overtime for the second time in the series, Mike Hoffman scored 1:39 into the extra period to give the Blues a 5-4 win and pull even in what’s become a mythical series. Game 7, as it is, is Monday afternoon.
Hoffman took a pass from Oskar Sundqvist and buried his shot in the top right corner, the first overtime goal the Blues had scored in four chances this season.
