Coyotes beat Blues with late goal

~ Phoenix won 4-3 to extend St. Louis' losing streak to four games

ST. LOUIS -- Taylor Pyatt scored the go-ahead goal on a wraparound with 3 minutes, 12 seconds to go in the Phoenix Coyotes' 4-3 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Monday night.

Kyle Turris scored the tying goal on a rush that took advantage of the Blues' fourth line, and assisted on Pyatt's 10th goal of the season, a play that caught Jaroslav Halak and the St. Louis defense off-guard.

The Blues have lost four in a row since topping Phoenix on Dec. 31. Matt D'Agostini and Brad Winchester scored in a 20-second span early in the third to give St. Louis a 3-2 lead. Winchester has scored in three straight games for the first time in his career.

The Coyotes had a two-goal flurry in the second, going up 2-1 on Lauri Korpikovki's deflection and Lee Stempniak's breakaway. Stempniak ended a 15-game goal drought after stealing the puck from defenseman Erik Johnson.

D'Agostini drew two penalties in the first period, and set up the lone goal with 1:07 left in the period, sending a backhand pass to David Backes, who scored his fifth goal in seven games.

Both teams continued to struggle on the power play. The Coyotes are 0 for 19 over the last eight games. The Blues are 2 for 31 in their last 12.
