Roy Loses It and Coyotes Win, 5-3

From Associated Press

Facing a penalty shot against one of the greatest goaltenders the game has known didn’t faze Phoenix rookie Krystofer Kolanos.

Kolanos scored the game-winner on a penalty shot 8:20 into the third period, enraging Patrick Roy so much that he was ejected, and the Coyotes defeated the Colorado Avalanche, 5-3, Saturday night at Phoenix.

Phoenix moved into fifth place in the Western Conference, one point ahead of the Kings and St. Louis.

After Kolanos gave Phoenix a 4-3 lead, Roy smashed his stick against a goal post, splintering it, and then threw a piece at Kolanos, who beat him high on the glove side. Roy then charged referee Dan Marouelli, drawing 10-minute misconduct and game misconduct penalties.

Roy, who had 16 saves, was upset that the penalty shot was awarded after Marouelli ruled he threw his stick across the crease to stop Kolanos from scoring.
