Antti Raanta had 44 saves, and Tyler Pitlick
scored for Arizona.
MacKinnon missed three games after he took a check to the head
in San Jose on March 3. MacKinnon was sharp, with 10 shots on
goal in 24:44 of ice time.
With time ticking down in overtime, Landeskog stickhandled from
the left circle, twirled into the slot and wristed a shot
through traffic and over Raanta's left shoulder for his seventh
goal of the season.
Colorado went in front almost at the outset. Andre Burakovsky
brought the puck down the right side of the Coyotes zone and
slid a pass back into the slot to Saad, whose quick shot beat
Raanta just 1:23 into the game.
It was Saad's ninth of the season.
The Avalanche continued to put pressure on Arizona, but Raanta
kept it a one-goal game with big saves. Colorado had an 18-3
shot advantage in the first period, with the Coyotes not putting
a shot on Grubauer for the last 13:30 of the period.
The Avalanche continued the offensive surge in the second but
couldn't get one past Raanta, and Arizona was able to tie it
when Pitlick's shot from the right side went off the skate of
Colorado's Tyson Jost and past Grubauer at 18:05. It was
Pitlick's sixth on the year.
Colorado continued to dominate shots on goal in the third
period, but Raanta kept them off the board. His biggest save
came with 3:42 left when he made a sprawling save with his right
pad on Valeri Nichushkin's shot from the right circle.
Arizona's Nick Schmaltz had a breakaway with 2:35 left, but he
couldn't get a lot on his shot and Grubauer made the save.
