Pittsburgh's Bryan Rust and Arizona's Taylor
Hall each converted in the third round of the shootout. Blueger
scored to give the Penguins the advantage, and goaltender
Tristan Jarry sealed the win by stopping Carl Soderberg.
Jared McCann, Patric Hornqvist and Brandon Tanev each scored,
and Evgeni Malkin notched two assists for Pittsburgh, which
finished a road trip with a 3-0-0 record. Jarry finished with 24
saves for the Penguins.
Hall collected a goal and an assist, and Conor Garland and Derek
Stepan also scored for the Coyotes, who lost their third
straight game. Defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson had an assist in
his first contest after missing 43 games because of a broken
left leg.
Arizona goaltender Adin Hill stopped 31 shots.
Pittsburgh had just two shots in the first period, but one of
them produced a 1-0 lead. McCann one-timed a shot from Rust from
the bottom of the right circle at 2:43 for a power-play goal.
Garland tied it at 14:23 of the first period to break the
Coyotes' two-game goal drought. From the slot, Garland converted
a pass from behind the net by Hall. Former Penguins defenseman
Alex Goligoski notched an assist for his 400th NHL point.
Pittsburgh registered 22 shots in the second, but received the
same result -- one goal.
The Penguins got their second power-play goal at 3:51 of the
second. Hornqvist picked up his fifth goal in seven games to
make it 2-1, scoring from the right circle off a feed from deep
from Malkin.
Hall pulled Arizona into another tie at 9:51 of the second
period. His sharp-angle shot from the left-wing boards gave him
nine goals and 23 points in 18 career games against the
Penguins.
Stepan, off a backhand feed from Hjalmarsson, swept the puck
over Jarry's left pad at 11:28 of the third to give the Coyotes
their first lead.
Tanev answered at 16:58 after settling a rebound and moving the
puck from his backhand to his forehand before scoring from the
slot.
