Kevin Connauton continues his strong play, Coyotes beat Flames 4-1
CALGARY — Kevin Connauton believes he’s playing the best hockey of his career.
The Arizona defenceman led the way with a goal and an assist on Tuesday as the Arizona Coyotes won 4-1 over the Calgary Flames.
Since the all-star break Connauton has 10 goals, tying him with Tampa Bay’s Victor Hedman for most by a defenceman since Jan. 28. They’ve come in a span of 30 games after finding the back of the net just once in the season’s first 42 games.
“I’m playing a lot more confident. Using my skating, using my shot,” said the 28-year-old. “Had a rough year last year with injuries and then sitting out. So the beginning of the year, I was still trying to get back to my game, but I think I’m back there now.”
