The Coyotes may have tied it up by the end of the first period but Jagger Bowles (3G) was unstoppable, earning a hat-trick in the opener.

Bowles would net two goals in the second and go on to secure the win in the third period.

Nick Josephs added three assists while Brady Mende had two.

Goaltender Connor DeMelo was rock solid between the pipes in his first regular season game with the Chiefs.
