"The Ottawa Senators head into the all-star break on a three-game losing streak after a 3-2 loss to the Phoenix Coyotes on Tuesday.
No matter how much they wanted to avoid that, the Senators just didn't have any energy left a long five-game road trip. Tuesday's game was their sixth in nine days across three time zones.
Daniel Alfredsson and Chris Neil scored for the Senators, while Gilbert Brule, Shane Doan, and Radim Vrbata scored for the Coyotes.
The Senators had the potential tying goal, again from Alfredsson, disallowed with 8:34 left in the third when Nick Foligno was called for interfering with goalie Mike Smith.
"I think it's just a hockey play and I'm 100 per cent sure it's a goal," said Alfredsson."
