PHOENIX -- Colorado Avalanche goaltender Patrick Roy was ejected Saturday night after smashing his stick against a goal post and then throwing it at the Phoenix rookie who beat him on a penalty shot 8:20 into the third period of the Coyotes' 5-3 win.
Krystofer Kolanos beat Roy high on the glove side, giving the Coyotes a 4-3 lead.
Roy, who had 16 saves, was upset that the penalty shot was awarded after officials ruled he threw his stick across the crease to stop Kolanos from scoring.
After the shot, Roy whacked his stick against the right post, threw it toward Kolanos, who was exultantly skating along the boards, and then charged referee Dan Marouelli, who gave him 10-minute misconduct and game misconduct penalties.
Kolanos missed 22 games because of a concussion before his return March 19, but got his 11th goal on his first penalty-shot attempt. |
