Pyatt’s goal gives Coyotes 2-1 win over Flames

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Taylor Pyatt scored with 3:29 remaining to lift the Phoenix Coyotes past the Calgary Flames 2-1 on Thursday night.

Petr Prucha also scored for the Coyotes, who won their third straight.

David Moss had the lone goal for the Flames, who lost on the road in regulation for the first time since a 2-1 defeat at Columbus on Oct. 13. Calgary were 8-0-2 away from Alberta since then.

Pyatt took a pass from Daniel Winnick and skated down the right side before stopping short in the center of the right circle. He took one stride left before beating goalie Miikka Kiprusoff with a wrist shot.

Moss gave the Flames the lead with 1 second left in the first period. He took advantage of the puck bouncing high off Ilya Bryzgalov’s pads to the front of the crease, and scored into the open right side of the net.

Prucha tied it 1-1 at 9:40 of the second, bouncing a shot off Kiprusoff’s left shoulder seconds after Phoenix defenseman Keith Yandle struck the left post with a slap shot.

Kiprusoff, coming off consecutive shutouts, stopped 29 shots.
