Pair Of Late Goals Not Enough As Flyers Fall To Coyotes 4-2
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Antoine Vermette scored three goals for his fourth career hat trick, and the Arizona Coyotes held off the Philadelphia Flyers 4-2 on Monday night for their third straight victory.
Vermette became the first player to reach 11 goals for the Coyotes, including an empty-netter with 28 seconds left. Devan Dubnyk stopped 30 shots in his third straight solid game to help shore up Arizona's shaky goaltending.
Oliver Ekman-Larsson added a power-play goal as the Coyotes matched their longest winning streak of the season.
R.J. Umberger and Sean Couturier scored third-period goals for the Flyers after they fell behind 3-0.
Steve Mason made 21 saves in his return after missing four games with back spasms, but the Flyers dropped to 3-2 on their season-high, eight-game road trip.
