EDMONTON, Alta. – The encore between the Coyotes and Oilers Sunday wasn’t an exact replica of their initial meeting Friday in Arizona, but a few similarities emerged.
A deflection off Oilers defenseman Kris Russell that resulted in a Coyotes goal.
Offense created by the NHL’s leading point-getter Connor McDavid.
Sound play by goalie Mike Smith.
And, of course, an Arizona win as the Coyotes extended their reign of dominance over the Oilers by pulling out a 2-1 win at Rogers Place to stand 21-0-4 in their last 25 games against the Oilers – the longest point streak against the same opponent in franchise history as Arizona hasn’t lost in regulation to Edmonton since Jan.
