GLENDALE, Ariz., April 12 (UPI) -- Viktor Tikhonov's goal in the fourth round of the shootout Saturday lifted the Phoenix Coyotes to a 5-4 win over Anaheim.

The Ducks questioned whether Tikhonov illegally double-touched the puck to push it past the goal line but officials determined the video was inconclusive so the goal was allowed to stand.

Steve Reinprecht had two goals and two assists, and Todd Fedoruk and Enver Lisin scored goals for Phoenix (36-39-7), which tied the Los Angeles Kings for the worst record in the Pacific Division and finished ahead of only Colorado for worst in the West. Ilya Bryzgalov let in four goals on 35 shots but still got the win.

Teemu Selanne had a goal and assist for the Ducks (42-33-7), who lost a chance to gain ground on Columbus in the battle for the sixth seed in the West. The Blue Jackets fell to Minnesota but still lead the Ducks by one point.

Anaheim has 91 points, one better than St. Louis, which concludes its regular season Sunday at Colorado.
