GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) β Sam Gagner scored twice, Martin Hanzal had a goal and three assists and the Arizona Coyotes rode a rare big night on the power play to a 6-3 victory over of the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night.
The Coyotes won for the fourth time in five games, scoring three power-play goals after managing only 10 in their first 19 home games.
Hanzal’s work in front of the net set up power-play goals for Oliver Ekman-Larsson’s and Gagner before he knocked in his own rebound in a 12-minute span that put Arizona ahead 4-2 entering the third period.
Mike Smith stopped 23 shots for his first victory in more than a month.
Fedor Tyutin scored his first goal in 60 games, and James Wisniewski and Ryan Johansen also scored for the Blue Jackets. Sergei Bobrovsky was pulled after allowing six goals on 31 shots.
