After Patrick Kane went off for high-sticking Gostisbehere with
under a minute left in overtime, the defenseman slid a shot that
clipped Chicago captain Jonathan Toews' left skate and went in
for a power-play winner.
Michael Carcone and Travis Boyd potted goals for the Coyotes
(22-42-5, 49 points). Karel Vejmelka stopped 29 shots in his
eighth straight start (2-5-1) as the Coyotes beat Chicago for
the second time in three meetings thus far.
Andrew Ladd -- a Stanley Cup winner with Chicago in 2010 -- was
back in Arizona's lineup for the first time since Feb. 20 after
suffering a lower-body injury.
Kane scored on the power play, and Dylan Strome found the net
for the Blackhawks (24-35-11, 59 points). Alex DeBrincat
assisted on both goals.
Seth Jones' helper on Kane's marker was the defenseman's 42nd,
setting a career high for a season. He had 41 with Columbus in
2017-18.
Kevin Lankinen made 32 saves but fell to 0-2-2 in his past four
starts as the Blackhawks lost their fifth straight (0-3-2) to
open a five-game homestand.
After a pregame ceremony honoring Toews for reaching 1,000
career games Thursday, DeBrincat gloved an Arizona pass in the
neutral zone, sent it to his stick and fed Strome for an early
goal. It was Strome's 20th of the season.
Inside the second period's first minute, Sam Lafferty's shot
clicked off the blade of Gostisbehere and struck the defenseman
in the neck area. He dropped to the ice but eventually was able
to walk to the dressing room on his own.
The Coyotes took advantage of a Chicago turnover to level the
score at 1-all at 6:25. Anton Stralman kept in an attempted
clear and sent a pass into the slot that Carcone chipped in off
the right post for his second goal.
Boyd gave the visitors their first lead when he slickly
stick-handled through the left circle and whistled his 13th
tally past Lankinen on the glove side. Back from his injury,
Gostisbehere passed off the primary assist on the go-ahead
score.
In the third at 5:33, Kane zipped in a long shot on Chicago's
third power play for his 22nd goal to tie the game again.
