There are more questions than answers surrounding the Arizona Coyotes’ future, but the team continues to persevere on the ice.
There are more questions than answers surrounding the Arizona Coyotes’ future, but the team continues to persevere on the ice.
Matias Maccelli scored the overtime winner as the Coyotes defeated the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Friday.
Maccelli notched his 15th of the season 1:34 into the extra session, picking the top corner on Oilers goalie Calvin Pickard, who had made a couple of huge stops a minute earlier.
The victory came amid reports that Arizona general manager Bill Armstrong flew to Edmonton on Friday and spoke with players about the team's potential move to Utah before the game.
“I think we played rock solid, they had a push and I think we held on, our goalie made some good saves,” Coyotes coach Andre Tourigny said.
“I think we battled. The guys are unbelievable because they kept their focus. If you look at our game there, there was a moment at the end of the second period where you think that was a bit of shinny hockey, but other than that, we played rock solid in terms of structure and focus. I’m really impressed by the boys.”
Josh Doan and Logan Cooley also scored for the Coyotes (35-40-5), who have won four of their last five.
