Coyotes Get By Blues

Arizona center Barrett Hayton scored twice and Scott Wedgewood made 34 saves as the Coyotes downed the St. Louis Blues 3-2.

 

Kyle Capobianco scored his first goal of the season for Arizona, which snapped a three-game losing streak and won in regulation for only the second time in 16 games this season.

 

Torey Krug scored in his return from COVID-19 protocol for St. Louis, which lost its fourth straight game. Jordan Kyrou also scored and Ryan O'Reilly added two assists for the Blues, who beat Arizona 7-4 on Oct. 18 in Phoenix.

 

Jordan Binnington made 20 saves for St. Louis.

 

Hayton had managed just one assist over his first nine games this season. But he saved his best performance for the perfect time to help the Coyotes to their first road win.

 

Arizona went 2 for 2 on the power play after going eight successive games without a power play goal this season.

 

The Coyotes were missing seven players due to injury and lost two others to COVID-19 protocol.

 

Arizona winger Clayton Keller, who grew up in the St. Louis suburb of Swansea, Illinois, was held without a point against St. Louis for the first time in four games.

 

St. Louis C Oskar Sundqvist returned to the lineup for the first time since March 19. He underwent surgery to repair torn ligaments in his left knee as well as hip surgery to correct a previous ailment.

 

The Blues host San Jose on Thursday.
