However, Edmonton iced the game with an empty-net goal courtesy of McDavid as the Oilers snapped the Coyotes' four-game point streak and won the game by a 5-3 score.

Tourigny's Take: "I like the fight in our guys. It would have been easy for one to close the door. We're in a tough stretch, I won't lie, and I'm not looking for excuses, but we can feel guys are a little bit tired. You know how we practice and yesterday the practice was - the boys were tired. I never not once this year had to address the effort of our guys or whatever, and again tonight, they fought hard, and they battled, so I'm proud of them. But we're in a tough, tough stretch right now. They need to rest a little bit."

Travis Boyd said: "I think for us it's maybe about learning how as a group we are going to win games. Maybe we're not going to be the team that's going to go out there and score six or seven goals every night. So, we've got to make sure that we're dialed in defensively for 60 minutes and we're playing a hard game. I guess kind of more of a blue-collar game."

Notable:
• Clayton Keller extended his point streak to four games (2-5-7 in that span), tying Phil Kessel for the longest by a Coyote this season.
• Keller's three points represented his 40th career multi-point game and his eighth career three-point game - pacing the Coyotes in both categories since the start of 2017-18.
• Kessel assisted on Keller's goal to maintain his career point per game scoring line against Edmonton (11-15-26 in 26 GP).
• Shayne Gostisbehere scored his third goal of the season, which was his 15th point. He is the ninth defenseman (16th instance) in franchise history to reach 15 points within the team's first 20 games of a season.
• Travis Boyd scored for the second consecutive game and has four points (2-2-4) in his last four games.
• Scott Wedgewood played in his 50th career game.
