The Coyotes went 0-for-6 on the power play. Crouse and Nick Schmaltz each missed on breakaways in the first.
“For the most part we were keeping them to the outside,” Copley said. “They didn’t get a whole lot of stuff inside. When they got shots, we were there to clean up the rebounds. When they were having those pushes, we kept them off the board and that and kind of killed their momentum.
Danault scored at 16:15 of the third period for the 4-1 final.
Copley was targeted to start after being pulled for allowing three goals on six shots in a 5-4 win at Arizona on Oct. 27. He had started only one game since.
“We wanted to get a good effort from the group so they could play well in front of him and get him back to where he needed to be,” McLellan said. “All the work he did leading into the game was really important.”
