The Arizona Coyotes injected life into a lackluster game with a lively end to its Saturday night against the playoff-bound St. Louis Blues and jeopardized its draft lottery chances in the process.
The Coyotes scored three goals in the third period, including two less than a minute from each other, to lose 5-4 in overtime. Blues defenseman Justin Faulk scored twice, including the game-winner 30 seconds into overtime.
All four goals for the Coyotes were from players who have yet to play a full NHL season.
Nate Smith scored the first goal of the game for the Coyotes at 17:11 in the first period on another setup from Stralman.
