Coyotes 2, Wild 1 (OT)
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Mikkel Boedker scored his second goal of the game on a rebound 34 seconds into overtime and the Arizona Coyotes snapped a four-game losing streak with a 2-1 win over the Minnesota Wild on Friday night at Gila River Arena.
The win was Arizona's fifth straight at home and Minnesota's sixth loss in seven overtime games this season.
Goaltender Anders Lindback had 27 saves for the Coyotes. Darcy Kuemper made 18 saves for the Wild.
With Wild left winger Zack Parise off for high-sticking against Coyotes center Brad Richardson, Boedker secured a rebound of defenseman Michael Stone's shot and swept it into the open side of the net. Boedker had a hat trick in the team's last home game against Ottawa on Nov. 28.
Minnesota took a 1-0 lead 6:33 into the second period when Coyotes defenseman Nicklas Grossmann tried to poke a loose puck past Parise, who beat him to the puck and the Wild had an odd-man rush. Stone tried to block Parise's centering pass, but Parise got it over him and onto the stick of defenseman Jared Spurgeon, who redirected it past Lindback from the top of the crease.
With the assist, Parise extended his point streak against Arizona to 13 games, the longest active streak for one player against an NHL opponent.
The Coyotes tied it with 2:10 left in the period when Wild left winger Jason Zucker and right winger Jason Pominville hit posts at the other end.
Coyotes left winger Tobias Rieder forced a turnover and spotted Boedker streaking up the ice. Rieder's pass was too long, but Kuemper hesitated and Boedker beat him to the puck and then to the far side with a snap shot. The goal came on just the Coyotes' seventh shot of the game.
Lindback entered the game with a career 1.76 goals-against average, his second-best mark against any NHL opponent.
The Wild failed on all four power-play opportunities, converting on only one of its last 20 chances with a man advantage.
