A four-goal head start wasn’t enough to hold off the Devils as the Coyotes needed a late third-period goal to eke out a 5-4 win over the Devils Saturday at Gila River Arena.
Defenseman Anthony DeAngelo wired a shot from the high slot with 6:29 to go, a goal that stood as an crucial insurance tally before morphing into the game-winner once Devils defenseman John Moore lifted a backhander over goalie Mike Smith at 15:02. The Devils continued to push and had a missed penalty shot by winger Taylor Hall, a photo finish that seemed unlikely when the Coyotes cruised to a 4-0 advantage early in the second.
Winger Radim Vrbata scored his team-leading 16th goal just 1:27 into the first period when he buried a feed from winger Max Domi by Devils goalie Cory Schneider. The goal moved Vrbata into sole possession of eighth place on the franchise’s all-time goals list at 153. Only 1:26 later, Arizona went up 2-0 when winger Tobias Rieder roofed a setup from center Jordan Martinook.
BOX SCORE: Coyotes 5, Devils 4
The power play then took over with defenseman Jakob Chychrun converting from the slot at 18:25 before winger Brendan Perlini added a fourth 3:59 into the second on a wrist shot that was his 12th goal and second in as many games. The unit went 2-for-3, snapping out of a funk that had it go 3-for-40. Schneider was replaced after that by Keith Kinkaid, who finished with 20 saves while Schneider had just six.
But that edge slowly started to disappear; Devils winger Kyle Palmieri had a redirect on the power play at 5:47 for the Devils’ lone extra-man goal in two chances. Later, winger Beau Bennett pounced on a turnover at 12:09 and defenseman Damon Severson’s point shot wove through traffic only 17 seconds into the third.
Smith totaled 26 stops.
