Arizona Coyotes howl one last time with win over Edmonton Oilers

The Arizona Coyotes ended their existence with a 5-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers Wednesday night. The franchise is moving to Salt Lake City.

The Coyotes scored an early goal when the puck hit the referee and bounced to Liam O’Brien, who buried a shot past Calvin Pickard. Sam Carrick tied it, deftly deflecting a slap pass from Mattias Ekholm for his tenth of the season.

The Coyotes replied with a power play goal from former Edmonton Oil King Dylan Guenther. Pickard was pulled for an extra attacker with 5:12 left. Sean Durzi promptly scored an empty netter.
