A superb second half for Kevin Connauton continued on Tuesday night, picking up a goal and an assist to lead the Arizona Coyotes to a 4-1 victory over the Calgary Flames.
Since the all-star break Connauton has 10 goals, which ties him with Tampa Bay’s Victor Hedman for most by a defenceman since Jan. 28. The goals have come in a span of 30 games for the 28-year-old, who had just one goal in the season’s first 42 games.
Richard Panik, Christian Fischer and Dylan Strome also scored for Arizona (29-40-11), which has won three games in a row.
Nick Shore with his first goal as a Flame scored for Calgary (36-34-10). The injury-riddled Flames have lost eight of their last nine.
Arizona struck first at 3:48 of the first period when Panik deflected Connauton’s point shot past rookie goaltender Jon Gillies. Panik has also been on a tear of late with six goals in his last 10 games.
