TEMPE, Ariz. ― Morgan Frost’s line just needed to head to the desert to defrost. He, James van Riemsdyk and Owen Tippett helped contribute to all four of the team’s goals, but their efforts weren’t enough in the 5-4 overtime loss to the Arizona Coyotes on Sunday.
Frost and van Riemsdyk had started heating up Friday night in Vegas. Over and over, the young center and veteran winger tried to set each other up for scoring chances against the Vegas Golden Knights. They were close enough to draw excitement from the crowd but never finished.
Even so, it was clear they meshed well, van Riemsdyk said. Apparently, they needed just one more game to perfect their connection.
