Foligno Jersey , Alberta (AP) ¡ª The Arizona Coyotes¡® confidence didn¡¯t
waver after allowing a late goal.Vinnie Hinostroza scored in regulation and got
the winner in the fourth round of the shootout to lift the Arizona Coyotes to a
3-2 victory over the short-handed Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.Josh
Archibald also scored for the Coyotes, who have won four of their last six.The
Coyotes¡¯ victory came after allowing a tying goal with just 11 seconds left in
the third.¡°I don¡¯t think that took any momentum from us on the bench, at least I
didn¡¯t feel it,¡± Hinostroza said. ¡°I thought we played a great game and for 60
minutes, I think we controlled most of the game.¡°We still had our confidence
that we were going to score and win it in overtime and fortunately we got the
shootout win.¡±Darcy Kuemper stopped 35 shots through overtime and then 3 of 4
attempts in the tiebreaker.¡°They definitely pushed late and tied the game, but I
think the urgency of the game allowed us to reset and to have a good overtime
and big shootout,¡± he said.Adam Larsson and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had goals for
Edmonton
Authentic
Oliver Bjorkstrand Jersey , which was without star forward Connor McDavid
due to the flu. Mikko Koskinen had 33 saves as the Oilers lost their fifth
straight and 11th in the last 12 (1-8-3).¡°We found a way to salvage a point and
we continue to push forward,¡± said Oilers forward Sam Gagner, who played his
first home game with his original team after being re-acquired in a trade with
Vancouver. ¡°Down the stretch here we are going to have games where maybe we
don¡¯t deserve to win and we do. We just have to keep fighting for points because
you never know what happens at the end of the day.¡±Edmonton¡¯s Leon Draisaitl and
Arizona¡¯s Alex Galchenyuk scored in the second round of the shootout.The Oilers
outshot the Coyotes 7-2 in overtime, but couldn¡¯t beat Kuemper.Edmonton tied the
score 1-1 3:27 into the third on a point shot through traffic by Larsson for his
third of the season. Draisaitl picked up an assist for his 70th point of the
season.The Coyotes moved back in front midway through the third as Hinostroza
was left alone in front to shovel in a rebound on the backhand for his 10th.The
Oilers had consistent pressure late in the game and were able to tie it again.
With their goalie pulled, Nugent-Hopkins battled at the side of the net to slip
in his 19th of the season with just 11 seconds remaining.After a scoreless first
period, the Coyotes went ahead 7:12 into the second. The Oilers failed to clear
the zone, leading to a big rebound and a wide-open net for Archibald to get his
eighth of the season.NOTES: It was the third of four meetings between the two

evening but it wasn't the game or the score most people are talking about on
Wednesday. Less than 24 hours after the game ended, the discussion surrounds the
series of events on the ice that saw struggling for tough-guy forward Lucic hunt
down and reprimand Mathieu Joseph for a hit on Oilers defenseman Kris Russell
earlier in the third period. (the hit on Russell and the ensuing attack by Lucic

long after the game, Lucic was advised he would have a phone hearing with the
NHL's Department of Player Safety for the hit and subsequent roughing up of
Joseph. A phone hearing meant as little as a fine and as much as a short
suspension should the department consider the act worthy of Lucic sitting a game
or two.In the end, Lucic was fined $10,000 and will not miss any game time.Most
fans in Edmonton believed Joseph had this coming to him. The referees had missed
the earlier call for a penalty when Russell got hit and Joseph had been running
around the entire game looking to hit any Oiler that
moved

Lucic had seen enough of the referee's inaction and took matters into his own
hands. Those that thought Lucic was well within his rights to try and police the
game will feel the fine stiff but be happy there's no time
lost.advertisingOthers are adamant Lucic should have gotten more of a punishment
considering the scene of him hunting down a player and looking for
retribution.Lucic fined $10,000 for roughing Lightning's Joseph

2018In the end, most agree the play wasn't suspendable but the optics of Lucic
chasing Joseph around the ice, knocking him down and doing everything short of
laying a beating on the player was enough to warrant a fine. Ultimately, the NHL
couldn't let that image go unpunished.The Oilers and Lucic will likely take the
fine in stride knowing they've sent a message around the NHL. Don't touch our
guys or Milan Lucic will be coming after you.advertising
