Fowler, Terry each has 3 points to propel Ducks past Coyotes

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Cam Fowler had two goals and an assist, and Troy Terry had a goal and two assists for the Anaheim Ducks in a 5-2 win against the Arizona Coyotes at Mullett Arena on Tuesday.

Frank Vatrano had a goal and an assist, and Anthony Stolarz made 37 saves for the Ducks (14-29-5), who opened with a four-goal lead after losing six of seven (1-5-1).
"It feels like we've been spotting other teams goals in the first period, just through mental errors, and I thought we limited that," Terry said. "We had a lot of energy at the start. … We dictated the pace. It was big for us to get a good start and keep it rolling."
Barrett Hayton had a goal and an assist, and Connor Ingram made 38 saves for the Coyotes (15-28-5), who have lost 12 of 14.
"I did not like our start; we were a little bit sloppy on our assignments defensively," Arizona coach Andre Tourigny said. "They're a young team, but they have a lot of skills and they took advantage of it."

Vatrano gave Anaheim a 1-0 lead at 17:38 of the first period when Terry intercepted Dylan Guenther's backhand pass and made a cross-ice feed to Vatrano for a one-timer that went under Ingram's glove.
Terry made it 2-0 at 3:34 of the second period with his first goal since Dec. 15. With a slashing penalty on Coyotes defenseman Juuso Valimaki against Max Jones pending, Terry went nearly end-to-end, maneuvering around Guenther before taking a wrist shot from the right face-off circle.
"I had a lot of space to get some speed going," Terry said. "That's kind of exciting, because it's tough to get the puck with space in the National Hockey League. When there's a delayed penalty and you can take advantage of that, it's nice."
Terry had gone 16 games without a goal, but has 12 assists in his past 14 games.
"Troy's our best player, and it was great to see him score because it's been a while now despite getting excellent chances every night," Ducks coach Dallas Eakins said. "But that's Troy. He has that ability to go through people, he's unbelievable at putting pucks underneath guys' sticks and controlling it that way. I think he could have easily added a couple more."

Fowler extended it to 3-0 at 4:19, scoring 45 seconds into the ensuing power play after waiting for traffic to form in front before taking a wrist shot from the top of the slot.
"When somebody takes a penalty like that on one of our guys, it's up to us as a power play to make them pay for that," Fowler said. "I think it kind of rallied our guys."
Arizona has allowed a power-play goal in eight consecutive games (eight goals on 26 power plays).
"We needed to get one on that power play, for sure," Eakins said. "If they kill that whole five [minutes] off, I think some hope and some belief go back into their bench."
Fowler made it 4-0 at 3:02 of the third period with a one-timer from the slot while Jakob Silfverberg screened Ingram.
Hayton cut it to 4-1 at 10:44, switching from his forehand to his backhand and scoring undefended after intercepting Simon Benoit's no-look pass.
"There was about [a minute] there in the second where we gave up two goals and that broke the game a little bit," Tourigny said. "But we were able to crawl back, we had a lot of fight and the guys never quit."

Nick Schmaltz made it 4-2 at 14:34 on the power play, his first goal in 14 games and Arizona's first with a man-advantage in seven games.
Adam Henrique scored an empty-net goal at 16:39 for the 5-2 final.
