The Arizona Coyotes not only responded to the Sharks scoring first, but built a lead at Mullett Arena. However, the ongoing skid did not end once the Sharks scored three unanswered goals to hand the Coyotes their sixth-straight loss, 4-2.
Barrett Hayton and Christian Fischer scored in the first period to give the Coyotes a 2-1 lead. Defensemen Shayne Gostisbehere and Jakob Chychrun assisted both plays. Gostisbehere became the fourth Coyotes defenseman to reach 28 or more points in 40 games.
Karel Vejmelka faced 33 shots in the game and surrendered two goals after Sharks center Nico Sturm tied the game at 5:59 in the second period.
