At Rogers Place, the Coyotes opened the scoring in the first period and managed to maintain their lead by netting another goal in the second. The Oilers responded with one goal in each of the second and third periods to tie up the game. However, it was Arizona's performance during overtime that sealed their win as they scored once more to take home an additional two points.


Arizona's goaltender had an exceptional night between the pipes, saving all but two of Edmonton's 41 shots on goal for a save percentage of 100 percent. This defensive stronghold was crucial for Arizona as they were outshot by Edmonton who managed only a shooting percentage of five percent despite their higher shot count.

The Coyotes' offense was efficient; they capitalized on three out of their 28 shots on goal which translated into an eleven percent shooting success rate. Their winning goal came during overtime after both teams failed to score during regulation powerplays despite multiple opportunities – two for Arizona and one for Edmonton.


In terms of physicality, Arizona delivered nineteen hits throughout the game but were outmatched by Edmonton who posted thirty-seven hits. The faceoff circle saw both teams taking fifty-five draws each; however, it was Edmonton who dominated this aspect with a sixty-six percent faceoff win rate compared to Arizona's thirty-four percent.
