Tommie Harris' wife dies
GLENDALE, Ariz., Dec. 12 (UPI) -- Zbynek Michalek and Olli Jokinen scored the game's first two goals in the final 27 seconds of the second period Thursday, boosting Phoenix past Minnesota 3-1.
Phoenix defeated the Wild for the first time in 10 tries and did so with a flurry that came just before the end of the second stanza. Minnesota lost its third in a row, its longest skid of the season.
Michalek broke a scoreless tie by unleashing a rising shot from above the right faceoff circle with 27 seconds remaining in the second.
Jokinen's goal, coming with 2 seconds to go, came after he received a perfect pass from Peter Mueller.
Joakim Lindstrom gave the Coyotes a 3-0 lead in the third period before Antti Miettinen scored for Minnesota to end the shutout bid of Ilya Bryzgalov.
Minnesota has scored just twice during its three-game losing streak. Phoenix has won two straight.
