LOS ANGELES – A setup man who ranked among the best to start this season, Coyotes center Martin Hanzal appears to have changed his job title to goal scorer.
After tallying 13 assists – the second-highest total in the NHL – Hanzal decided to finish the plays instead of initiate them. His two goals helped galvanize the Coyotes to a 3-2 win over the Kings Tuesday in front of 18,230 at Staples Center to complete a sweep over Los Angeles and Anaheim in back-to-back nights on the road for the first time in franchise history.
The Coyotes earned an impressive 4-3 overtime victory over the Ducks Monday.
