GLENDALE, Ariz. — Phil Kessel scored on the power play with 50 seconds left in overtime to give the Pittsburgh Penguins a 3-2 win against the Arizona Coyotes at Gila River Arena on Friday.
Kessel redirected a Sidney Crosby shot with Arizona’s Richard Panik in the penalty box for hooking Brian Dumoulin at 2:51 to win it for Pittsburgh (26-15-6), which lost its two previous games.
Juuso Riikola and Jake Guentzel scored 40 seconds apart in the second period for the Penguins, and Matt Murray made 30 saves for his 10th win in his past 11 starts.
Clayton Keller and Derek Stepan scored for the Coyotes (21-22-4), who are 4-1-2 in their past seven games. Darcy Kuemper made 32 saves in his first loss in five starts.
Keller took a pass from Oliver Ekman-Larsson as they switched positions on a 4-on-3 power play and scored his second goal in 22 games to put Arizona ahead 1-0 at 12:51 of the first. It was Keller’s 100th NHL point.
Riikola scored his second NHL goal on the power play at 4:58 of the second period to tie it 1-1.
Guentzel put the Penguins ahead 2-1 at 5:38 when he scored from along the goal line off the rebound of his own backhand shot.
Panik appeared to tie the game at 3:41 of the third period, but Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan challenged for goalie interference by Ekman-Larsson, and the goal was overturned after video review.
Stepan tied it 2-2 at 14:34 when he scored off the rebound of a Niklas Hjalmarsson shot.
