of 25 shots on goal. Strome provided three assists and Ivan
Miroshnichenko had two assists.

Guentzel supplied three assists and Martin Necas had two assists.

Damon Severson gave Columbus the early lead 4:28
into the first period. The Avalanche responded with six unanswered
scores, beginning with Makar's equalizer at 11:00 of the first
period.
Coyotes 2, Kraken 1 (OT)
Dylan Guenther scored on a breakaway with 48 seconds remaining in
overtime as Arizona rallied past Seattle in Tempe, Ariz.
The Coyotes' Clayton Keller tallied his sixth goal in six games at
18:52 of the third period with the goalie pulled to tie the score.
Karel Vejmelka made 27 saves for Arizona, which won for the third
time in four games.
The late heroics spoiled the first NHL goal for Seattle's Ryker
Evans and the return of goalie Joey Daccord, the former Arizona
State University standout. Daccord stopped 24 of 26 shots, but the
Kraken remained winless in their past seven games (0-5-2).
