Shayne Gostisbehere had a goal and an assist
and Oskar Lindblom scored into an empty net late as the Flyers
went 3-0-1 on a Western trip that began with victories in
Anaheim and Los Angeles and included an overtime loss to San
Jose on Saturday.
Alex Galchenyuk and Michael Grabner scored for the Coyotes, who
had a five-game winning streak broken.
The Coyotes began the night trying to sweep a five-game
homestand for the second time in franchise history. They turned
the trick from March 3-12, 2002, when the franchise was located
in Winnipeg.
Flyers goalie Calvin Pickard made 34 saves in his fourth start
of the season, and Coyotes goalie Darcy Kuemper made 29 saves in
his fourth start.
Players from both teams had to be separated after the game, and
the teams will play again Thursday in Philadelphia, when the
Flyers begin a five-game homestand and the Coyotes start a
four-game road trip.
Giroux, who has six goals, scored on a wrist shot from the slot
at 12:34 of the first period for a 1-0 lead.
Gostisbehere made it 2-0 on a power play in the final minute of
the first period when he was credited with a goal after his
wrist shot hit Derek Stepan's stick and was redirected past
Kuemper.
Galchenyuk scored on a power play at 1:14 of the second period
to cut the deficit to 2-1. The Flyers have given up a power play
goal in eight straight games.
Couturier gave the Flyers a 3-1 lead when he put the puck into
an open net at 17:05 of the second period after Coyotes forward
Grabner collided with Kuemper and knocked him behind the cage.
Giroux scored on a backhander on a feed from Wayne Simmonds for
a 4-1 lead at 6:35 of the third period, before Grabner scored at
14:04.
