EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Matias Maccelli scored 1:35 into overtime and the Arizona Coyotes beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Friday night after being informed of the team’s expected move to Utah. Josh Doan had a goal and an assist, and Logan Cooley also scored to help the Coyotes get their fourth win in five games. Karel Vejmelka stopped 37 shots. Adam Henrique and Darnell Nurse scored for the Oilers, who snapped a three-game winning streak. Calvin Pickard finished with 25 saves. Edmonton, playing without star forward Connor McDavid (lower-body injury), pulled to three points behind Pacific Division-leading Vancouver, and clinched at least second place and home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs. Before the game, Coyotes players were told of the team’s potential relocation after 28 years in Arizona. In the extra period, Maccelli picked the top corner on Pickard, who made a couple of huge stops a minute earlier. It was Maccelli’s 15th of the season. |
