Hurricanes 5, Coyotes 4 (OT)
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Carolina center Victor Rask scored 53 seconds into overtime to give the Hurricanes a 5-4 victory over the Arizona Coyotes at Gila River Arena on Saturday.
Rask weaved into center ice and put his ninth goal of the season past Anders Lindback to give Carolina its fourth victory in five games.
Phoenix defenseman Connor Murphy tied the game on a goal with 16 seconds left in the third period after the Hurricanes missed two chances at an open net in the final 45 seconds.
Carolina defenseman Justin Faulk had a goal and an assist, and Faulk's power-play goal 40 seconds into the third period gave the Hurricanes a 4-1 lead. Faulk has 12 goals this season, all on the power play. He leads the league in power play goals.
Arizona right winger Anthony Duclair scored two goals, his ninth and 10th of the season. The first came late in the second period and the second 63 seconds after Faulk's goal in the third.
Coyotes center Kyle Chipchura scored his second goal of the season at 3:23 of the third period to close it to 4-3.
Right winger Kris Versteeg, right winger Andrej Nestrasil and right winger Phillip Di Giuseppe also scored for the Hurricanes (12-14-1). Versteeg tipped in a shot from the point by Faulk midway through the first period, a goal originally credited to Faulk.
Lindback had 28 saves for the Coyotes (14-14-2), who have lost six of its last seven and had a five-game home winning streak broken.
Eddie Lack had 24 saves for Carolina.
Versteeg redirected a shot by Faulk from the right point for his third goal scored of the season at 8:37 of the first period. With an assist on the play, defenseman Ron Hainsey has a point in five straight games.
Nestrasil had his third goal of the season on a power play with four seconds remaining in the first period to make it 2-0, hitting a wide-open net after taking a cross-ice pass from center Jordan Staal.
Carolina left winger Jeff Skinner had a penalty shot five minutes into the first period, but he mishandled the puck as he neared the crease and did not get off a good shot. He had a hat trick in a 5-1 victory at Anaheim on Friday.
Skinner had an assist on Di Giuseppe's second goal of the season at 15:24 of the second period for a 3-0 lead. Di Giuseppe, a second-round draft choice in 2012, was promoted Dec. 5.
