Blackhawks Vs. Coyotes, NHL Playoffs 2012 Game 4: Chicago, Phoenix Still Scoreless At End Of Second
We’ve seen a pair of fights, one of which led to Paul Bissonnette’s dismissal from the game after failing to secure his jersey with a fighting strap. In puck-centric matters, the Blackhawks are giving themselves more chances to score, having made 23 shots on goal to the Coyotes’ 10. Phoenix leads in hits, 31-21, but the two teams remain roughly even in most other statistical departments.
The third period is set to begin. We’ll see whether Phoenix can spring out to a commanding 3-1 lead in the series.
