GLENDALE Joel Armia Jersey Womens , Ariz. (AP) — Brad Richardson and the Arizona Coyotes were tasked with trying to limit the productivity of the Colorado Avalanche’s high-scoring top line.They did just enough Saturday night, and Richardson provided the offense the Coyotes needed down the stretch, scoring twice in the final 3:39 in a 6-4 win over Colorado.Richardson’s ninth goal of the season broke a 4-all tie, and his empty-net goal was his 10th and gave him the team lead in scoring. The empty-netter came with 12 seconds left.“I just literally tried to shoot as quick as I could on that,” Richardson said of his first goal. “Went through two other guys. I don’t think the goalie saw it at all.”Derek Stepan, Christian Fischer and Richard Panik scored for Arizona, and Conor Garland added his first career NHL goal.Alexander Kerfoot scored twice, and Gabriel Landeskog and Nathan MacKinnon added goals for the Avalanche, who have lost three of four. J.T. Compher and Matt Nieto had two assists for Colorado, which entered in fourth place in the Western Conference.The Coyotes lost a three-goal lead in the third period as the Avalanche rallied with goals from Landeskog, Kerfoot and MacKinnon to make it 4-4. Landeskog and MacKinnon are part of Colorado’s 157-point No. 1 line that didn’t score a point until the third.“We had MacKinnon’s line kind of hemmed in quite a bit in their end,” Richardson said.“We defended well early,” Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet said. “If there’s any guy you want to get the goal, for me, it’s ‘Richie’ because he shut down that line. That line is arguably the best line in hockey. He did a great job. That’s tough to do.”The Avalanche went with an extra attacker inside the final two minutes Torey Krug Jersey , but to no avail. The Coyotes put an end to a three-game losing streak.MacKinnon tied it at four with his 22nd of the season at 11:51 of the third. With intensity high, Landeskog and Arizona’s Lawson Crouse dropped gloves and exchanged blows.Both were given five minutes for fighting with 7:35 to play, Landeskog getting the better of the fight.It didn’t give the Avalanche momentum, however, as the Coyotes finished strong despite having lost seven of the previous eight games.“The third was not fancy, it wasn’t cute, it wasn’t east-west, it was all the things we wanted it to be,” Colorado coach Jared Bednar said. “Up-tempo, physical, involved, passionate. That’s the way we have to play. That’s the way we were playing at the beginning of the year.”Panik gave the Coyotes a first-period lead with his left-handed wrister at 8:58. He scored off a pass from Stepan for his seventh goal of the season.Hill got his pad on Sven Andrighetto’s centering pass in deep, but the puck caromed right to Kerfoot, who stuffed in the rebound at 18:13 of the first to tie the game.It was Kerfoot’s first goal since Nov. 14.Clayton Keller fanned on a shot, but Stepan was nearby to shoot the puck past Philipp Grubauer with five seconds left in the period Womens Tuukka Rask Jersey , and Arizona had momentum with a 2-1 lead to start the second period.The Coyotes’ third goal was almost all due to the handiwork of Nick Schmaltz, who handled the puck through defenders before passing, then got on the receiving end of another pass from Alex Galchenyuk that led to Schmaltz’s assist to Fischer.Fischer’s eighth goal at 2:30 of the second period gave the Coyotes a two-goal lead. Then Garland hustled to catch up to a long pass from Mario Kempe and beat Grubauer at 8:28.Grubauer, who had 12 saves, was then removed from net and replaced by Pavel Francouz, who at age 28 made his NHL debut.Francouz stopped 21 shots. Landeskog’s goal was his team-leading 24th of the season.“We left it all out there in the third,” Landeskog said. “If you ask me, I think we deserved more, but that’s the way it goes.”NOTES: Coyotes D Kevin Connauton was scratched for the second straight game. … D Ilya Lyubushkin recorded his first career NHL point with an assist on Garland’s goal. … The Avalanche called up C Sheldon Dries, Francouz and F A.J. Greer from Colorado of the AHL. Francouz was Grubauer’s backup goaltender with Semyon Varlamov out due to illness. Dries was scratched. … C Colin Wilson, hurt Friday in a loss to Chicago, was placed on injured reserve.UP NEXTColorado: At Vegas on Dec. 27.Arizona: At San Jose on Sunday. ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Marc-Andre Fleury has played more games than any other NHL goaltender this season. It hardly appears to be taking a toll.The 34-year-old Fleury stopped 34 shots for his league-leading seventh shutout and the Vegas Golden Knights swept the season series from the Anaheim Ducks with a 3-0 victory Friday night.“My teammates helped me out blocking shots and taking rebounds away. It was a good team win,” said Fleury, who has played 55 games and also leads the league with 31 wins.It was Fleury’s 11th shutout for Vegas and the 55th of his career. Two have come against Anaheim Zdeno Chara Jersey , and 13 in March.“We played good all night and Fleury was excellent,” Vegas coach Gerard Gallant said. “They didn’t have a whole lot of good chances but when they did he made some great saves.”Fleury said he doesn’t feel tired despite playing in all but 11 games this season, but his workload over the final five weeks of the regular season might be watched more to make sure he is primed for the playoffs.“I’m fine. Our schedule is less busy right now,” he said. “We’ll go with the flow and try to stay healthy.”William Karlsson, Alex Tuch and Cody Eakin scored for Vegas, which won its third straight. The Golden Knights are on their longest streak since winning seven consecutive games in late December and early January but remain nine points behind San Jose for second place in the Pacific Division.“The win is awesome but the amount of times he shuts a team out is phenomenal. It gives us energy,” Tuch said about Fleury. “He’s probably the biggest part of our team’s success right now.”John Gibson made 31 saves for Anaheim in his first start since Feb. 7. Gibson had missed the last nine games due to a concussion and having his wisdom teeth removed.The Ducks have lost five in a row and are 3-10 since the All-Star break.“We’re out-chancing a lot of teams, so the stats say. We’re just not scoring, and other teams are scoring timely goals against us,” Ducks forward Nick Ritchie said.Karlsson scored his 19th at 14:49 of the first period when he took a cross-ice pass from Mark Stone and caught Gibson out of position. It was Stone’s first point with the Golden Knights since he was acquired from Ottawa on Monday.The Golden Knights had scored just twice in 28 power-play opportunities on the road coming into the game.Tuch got his first goal in 15 games and 17th this season at 18:13 of the second when he put a backhand between Gibson’s legs. Jonathan Marchessault was able to grab an errant puck off the boards and fired a stretch pass to Tuch as the Ducks were in the middle of a line change.“It’s been a little bit and I almost forgot the feeling,” Tuch said. “We’ve been playing real good hockey so far. We’ve got to clean up little bits and pieces and make sure we don’t let teams back in the game.”Eakin added an empty-net goal at 19:40 of the third for his 16th this season.NOTES: Anaheim RW Corey Perry tied team captain Ryan Getzlaf for most games played in franchise history at 971. Getzlaf has missed the past five games due to an upper-body injury. … The Ducks were 0 for 2 on the power play and have not converted in eight chances over the past five games.UP NEXTGolden Knights: Host the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday.Ducks: Host the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday.
