Coyotes halt skid, surge to OT win over Capitals

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Clayton Keller scored with 27 seconds left in overtime as the Arizona Coyotes rallied to beat the Washington Capitals 3-2 on Friday.

Arizona had lost seven in a row and 10 of 11. Christian Fischer tied the game with his ninth goal of the season with 1:01 to go in regulation, and Christian Dvorak also scored for the Coyotes.

First-place Washington, which had a season-low 17 shots on goal, had won four in a row. T.J. Oshie and Evgeny Kuznetsov scored for the Capitals, and Philipp Grubauer made 24 saves.

Max Domi set up Keller’s game-winner, skating in from the left side and deking a defender with a swooping move toward the middle. Grubauer stopped Domi’s shot, but Keller jumped on the rebound for his teambest 13th goal.

Fischer scored in similar fashion late in regulation.

With goalie Scott Wedgewood on the bench for an extra attacker, Jason Demers fired a shot from the top of the left circle. Grubauer stopped Derek Stepan’s tip in front, but the puck came to rest behind the goalie in the crease. Fischer swept in from the left and slid the puck into the net.

Washington led 1-0 after two lackluster periods, but Dvorak tied it 1:28 into the third.
