Elliott scores early in 3rd to lift Coyotes over Flames 2-1
CALGARY, Alberta (AP) Stefan Elliott scored on a point shot through traffic 1:47 into the third period and the Arizona Coyotes beat the Calgary Flames 2-1 on Thursday night.
Elliott worked a cycle up high with Anthony Duclair before firing through Martin Hanzal's screen. Hanzal was originally credited with the goal, but replays showed the puck deflected off Flames defenseman Kris Russell and not Hanzal.
Oliver Ekman-Larsson also scored to help Arizona improve to 6-1-2 in its last nine. The Coyotes are second in the Pacific Division at 20-16-4.
Louis Domingue made his fifth straight start and made 25 saves for Arizona. The Coyotes picked up five of a possible six points on their three-game Western Canada trip.
Johnny Gaudreau scored his team-leading 18th goal in the first period for Calgary. The Flames lost at home for just the third time in 15 games.
