The Arizona Coyotes have not lost to the Edmonton Oilers in regulation in nearly six years, dating to Jan. 25, 2011. The Coyotes have earned at least a point in their past 24 games against the Oilers (20-0-4). Arizona defeated Edmonton 3-2 in a shootout Friday, the first game of a home-and-home series, after spotting the Oilers an early two-goal lead. "That's obviously something that is big for us," captain Shane Doan said after the win. "Obviously, they have a great team this year and they're at the top of the standings in our division, so it's a big two points." Doan ended a 17-game goal drought when he scored the tying goal in the third period. Doan had not scored since Arizona's first game of the season, a 4-3 win against the Philadelphia Flyers. He needs two goals to reach 400 in his career and is one assist away from breaking the franchise record of 553. "It had been a long time, I have no idea what game this is or how long it's been, but I knew it was a long time," Doan said. "As a team the last two games have been better, we have to find a way to be more consistent for a full 60 minutes. I think in the first half we were good, we just have to make sure we're better in the second half of the game." Left wing Max Domi leads the Coyotes in scoring with three goals and 14 points in 19 games. Domi scored the Coyotes' first goal on Friday.
