GLENDALE, Ariz., Feb. 12 (UPI) -- Henrik Sedin scored the last of Vancouver's three third-period goals Thursday night, finishing off a rally that gave the Canucks a 4-3 victory over Phoenix.
The Coyotes took a 3-1 lead into the third period, but Vancouver came back to win its fourth straight game. That equals the Canucks' longest streak of success this season and comes after they had lost eight in a row.
Vancouver has scored 21 goals in the four straight victories.
Pavol Demitra started the Canucks' rally by scoring 2:16 into the third period and Alexander Edler tied it at 8:22 by tipping in a shot from Kevin Bieksa.
The Coyotes' Derek Morris was sent off at 10:38 of the third for his second penalty of the period and Sedin scored just nine seconds later.
Roberto Luongo made 25 saves to get the victory.
One night after shutting out the Dallas Stars, Ilya Bryzgalov suffered the third-period meltdown and allowed four goals on 32 shots.
