The coyotes defeat the Bruins 4-3 to snap a 19-game losing run.
Returning to the Mullett was a major streak-ending party for the Arizona Coyotes. With 13.5 seconds left in the third period, Lawson Crouse scored his second goal to give the Coyotes a 4-3 victory at home, snapping a 19-game losing streak to the Boston Bruins.
The second-longest losing skid against one team in NHL history was broken when Arizona youngster Matias Maccelli grabbed the puck from Boston goalkeeper Jeremy Swayman as it was trickling across the line and fed Crouse for a one-timer. In order to help the Coyotes snap a six-game losing streak, Karel Vejmelka made 43 saves.
For the Bruins, who outshot Arizona 46-16, David Pastrnak and Charlie Coyle each scored, and Swayman recorded 12 stops. The Coyotes had a strong start to the trip with three straight victories, but they finished the trip with a record of 1-7-3.
Immediately after returning to their temporary residence, they scored after only 23 seconds when Brown blasted through a passing screen and beat Swayman to the glove side. Four minutes later, Pastrnak knotted the score on a power play by smashing in a rebound during a chaotic scramble in front of Vejmelka.
On a power play early in the second period, Jakob Chychrun appeared to have given Arizona a 2-1 lead, but the officials upheld Boston’s appeal that the Coyotes were offside. Coyle then squeezed a rebound past Vejmelka from the edge of the crease to give Boston the lead, and this time it mattered.
The lead was short-lived.
After Vejmelka denied two breakaways in less than a minute, Crouse scored less than three minutes later by deflecting Shayne Gostisbehere’s shot from above the left circle. Schmaltz beat Swayman following a pass from Clayton Keller in the final 53 seconds of the third quarter to give Arizona the lead once more.
Foligno was able to tie it, but the Bruins were denied the opportunity to continue their winning streak against Arizona due to an error on their own end.
