Devan Dubnyk made 34 saves while Mikael Grandlund and Zach Parise each chipped in two points apiece. Jonas Brodin recorded three helpers.

There the Coyotes earned points for the 24th straight game against Edmonton … Cam Talbot made 41 stops in a losing effort … Connor McDavid had himself an eventful night.

Dishonorable Mention: Marc-Andre Fleury was in net for all six Minnesota goals as his career record versus the Wild fell to 2-7 with 30 goals allowed, per the AP … Pittsburgh allowed three power play goals on four Minnesota opportunities … Jimmy Howard left the game with a groin injury and will miss about a week, according to head coach Jeff Blashill … Ryan Getzlaf (15 games) and Corey Perry (13 games) could really use a goal … The Sabres have only scored 19 times in their last 13 games … Connor Hellebuyck was in net for all five Nashville goals. He’s now allowed 14 goals in his last four starts … Thomas Greiss will want this one back. Tough deflection from his own D:
