GLENDALE Colton Parayko Jersey , Ariz. (AP) The customized title belt the Arizona Coyotes pass around for a top performance in a victory was already in Antti Raanta’s possession after a win two days earlier against Montreal.Raanta did even more to earn the belt Saturday, though he handed it off to defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson. Raanta made 39 saves for his first shutout of the season and the Coyotes won their fourth straight, scoring on their first shot in a 1-0 victory over the Edmonton Oilers.Raanta had his ninth career shutout, helping the Coyotes earn points for the fifth time in six games.Article continues below ...”You never get the shutouts just by yourself, you need a good team in front of you,” Raanta said. ”It shows you how much better we are right now … I went with `Hammer’ because Hammer’s been blocking more shots than I have sometimes saved.”Cam Talbot made 31 saves for Edmonton. The Oilers have lost six in a row.Talbot was pulled with under 90 seconds to play, but Edmonton could not send the game to overtime. The OilersThe Coyotes scored on their first attempt of the game. Oliver Ekman-Larsson’s shot caromed off teammate Christian Dvorak’s body and past Talbot at 3:26 of the first period.”Somehow found its way in,” Dvorak said. ”Sometimes you get lucky if you go to the net.”The Oilers’ best chance came midway through the third. Patrick Maroon’s goal was overturned on a Coyotes’ challenge for goaltender interference. Maroon tipped in Oscar Klefbom’s shot, but replays appeared to show Maroon didn’t allow Raanta full movement with his stick and blocker to be able to stop the puck.”The goalie is way out of his crease and I’m getting pushed into him. So I mean, it can go either way http://www.officialblues.com/authentic-adidas-dmitrij-jaskin-jersey ,” Maroon said. ”I feel like it has been going that way all year.”Talbot expressed his displeasure at the ruling and that Arizona’s goal was not called back for the same infraction.”It’s extremely frustrating to have what seems like every one of these calls go against us. I just don’t understand it. … There’s just no consistency and I’m (expletive) sick of it.” he said.Dvorak became the fourth player in Coyotes history to begin his career with consecutive 10-or more-goal seasons. Ekman-Larsson has four points in his last two games and 25 in 31 career games against Edmonton, the most against any opponent.Talbot made several key saves in the period, two on a late Arizona power play, to keep the Coyotes from extending their lead.Raanta stopped Ryan Strome’s shot with 14:33 left in the third period, then turned away Zack Kassian’s long attempt 23 seconds later. He stayed strong in goal even against an extra attacker in the closing seconds.”Lots of blocking shots,” Raanta said of the game’s last few moments. ”Everybody who was on the ice, they were putting their bodies on the line.”The Coyotes held Oilers star Connor McDavid, among the NHL leaders in points with 66, to two shots on goal.”That’s a tough task to shut that guy down. He’s a world-class talent,” Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet said.NOTES: Oilers backup goalie Al Montoya was scratched after suffering an upper-body injury in Friday’s practice Youth Jaden Schwartz Jersey , and will be evaluated again on Sunday.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Flyers trudged off the ice to the familiar refrain of boos from the few thousand fans that stuck around to witness a collapse that capped one of the more arduous 48 hours in franchise history.Ron Hextall: Fired as general manager after 4½ middling seasons.Dave Hakstol: On a white-hot seat and his uncertain coaching fate in the hands of the new GM.And then a breakdown that has become too familiar for the Flyers: Blowing a two-goal lead in the third period to Ottawa in front of a fed-up crowd.“Everything we touch, it just doesn’t work,” Flyers forward Jake Voracek said.Brady Tkachuk had the magic tough for the Senators.Tkachuk scored twice in the third period and Matt Duchene scored the eventual winner with 2:59 left, lifting the Senators to a 4-3 win over Philadelphia on Tuesday night in the Flyers’ first game since Hextall was fired.The Flyers showed why Hextall is out of work and Hakstol’s job is in jeopardy. They coughed up a 3-1 lead over the final 6 ½ minutes of the third period and lost for the sixth time in seven games.“As soon as they got that second goal we kind of got scared. You can’t do that,” Voracek said.Tkachuk made it 3-2 late in the third and he tied it on a tip-in with 6:31 remaining. The Flyers turned it over in their end and Duchene batted the puck past Anthony Stolarz for a 4-3 lead.“It felt like it was the only time I touched the puck all night,” Duchene said.Voracek, Radko Gudas and Travis Konecny scored for the Flyers in front of scores of empty seats inside a home arena once among the most imposing in the NHL. Flyers fans have turned away in droves and tickets were selling on the secondary market for $6 in the mezzanine level Jake Allen Jersey , a minor-league price for a franchise that traditionally averaged 19,000 fans a game.Hakstol knows he’s in a precarious position with Hextall, who hired the coach with no NHL experience out of North Dakota in 2015, gone. Flyers President Paul Holmgren said the next general manager would decide Hakstol’s fate.“Given the scenario we are in, that’s a pretty reasonable process,” Hakstol said. “Whoever that is, he will come in and evaluate me as head coach and whether or not he likes what he sees and I’m the right guy to work with him.”Hakstol, in his fourth season, has led the Flyers to pair of playoff berths and his job appeared to be on the line after the Flyers lost 6-0 to Toronto on Saturday. Instead, it was Hextall who was fired with the Flyers (11-11-2) mired in mediocrity and fighting for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. But it was more than the sagging record that sent Hextall packing; Holmgren said the former GM was “unyielding” in his philosophical approach of building the Flyers into winners through the draft and a lone-wolf style of management. Hextall had tuned out input from other decision makers in the organization and had yet to make a big splash with the type of trade that could transform the Flyers into instant contenders.Holmgren said the Flyers would like to hire a new GM within weeks.They need a win sooner than that.Konecny scored his seventh goal of the season just 4:23 in the game for the usually slow-starting Flyers.“I think the main thing for us is getting in the offensive zone and even if it’s not your ‘A’ game Joel Edmundson Jersey , as long as we’re cycling the puck and doing the right things down low then we are going to get opportunities,” Konecny said.Thomas Chabot beat Stolarz in the first to even the score 1-all. Stolarz was the whopping fifth goalie to start a game for the Flyers this season.Voracek scored his sixth goal of the season in the second period and Gudas followed with his first for a 3-1 lead to cushion the lead.Much like Hextall during his tenure, it wasn’t enough.Tkachuk, the fourth overall pick of the 2018 draft, scored his eighth and ninth goals of the season to spark a comeback.“We knew it was going to go our way,” he said. “We believed in it, we trust the process and it was a big win for us.”NOTES: The Senators snapped a four-game losing streak. … Ottawa completed its third set of back-to-back games and improved to 1-1-1 in the second game.UP NEXTSenators: Host the Rangers on Thursday.Flyers: At Pittsburgh on Saturday.
