Strome, who last played in the NHL on Dec. 16, skated 12:18 and co-led the team with four shots on goal.
"He got some power-play time," Head Coach Rick Tocchet said. "I want to give him that sort of ice time to see what he can do. He cashed in. I hope that really loosens him up even more."
• Antti Raanta made 29 saves to earn his fourth win in March and his 17th victory of the season, a new career-high for the 28-year goalie in his first season with Arizona.
"When you get a couple of wins, when you start to get everybody on the same page, there's no more passengers," Raanta said of the team's recent success. "...It's been working. And that's the thing, when you see things working and when you get the wins and when you turn those one-goal games in your advantage, it makes a huge difference."
• Arizona entered the game having scored just two power-play goals in its past 23 tries, but scored two in the first period. On the flip side, the Coyotes committed four penalties, but they did not allow Buffalo to score with a man advantage.
"I liked the movement, and when you shoot the puck, good things happen," Tocchet said of the team's power-play attack. "In the past, we've been kind of passing around, but it's nice to get pucks on net and things can happen ... Our power play was good - we had a couple goals - and obviously the penalty kill was the key. In this league, when you win the special teams you really give yourself a good chance to win the hockey game."
• Tocchet was back behind the bench after missing Monday's home game vs. Calgary so he could attend his mother's funeral in the Toronto area.
"I'm just a routine guy," Tocchet said regarding his quick return to the team. "I like to get back in routine ... My mom would've wanted me to get back into these things."
• Arizona played minus defenseman Jason Demers, whom the team recently announced will miss the rest of the season because of an upper-body injury.
• Tocchet said backup goalie Darcy Kuemper would start Thursday's game at Carolina.
