Vancouver, BC (Sports Network) - Ryan Kessler scored the game-winning goal in
the sixth round of the shootout as the Vancouver Canucks edged the Phoenix
Coyotes, 2-1, at Rogers Arena.
Kessler moved in slowly and fired a quick wrist shot low to the stick side of
Coyotes netminder Jason LaBarbera. Roberto Luongo stopped Boyd Gordon in
Phoenix's final attempt to seal the victory.
Kessler added an assist and David Booth scored in regulation for the Canucks,
who bounced back nicely from a 3-2 shootout loss to the Calgary Flames on
Saturday and have won four of their last five games. Luongo finished with 23
saves in the win.
Keith Yandle scored and LaBarbera had 21 saves in defeat for the Coyotes, who
had their five-game winning streak snapped.
