The Coyotes got back on the winning track Monday, downing the Washington Capitals in a 4-3 shootout win in the front end of a back-to-back on the road.
The Coyotes (10-6-2) surrendered a lead for the fifth straight game but still managed to capture the two points against the Capitals, who had won 10 of their past 11 games.
Coyotes winger Clayton Keller opened the scoring in the first period when he crashed the net and tipped a puck past Capitals goaltender Ilya Samsonov. The initial chance was generated by Vinnie Hinostroza, who received a nifty pass from Alex Goligoski to do it.
