Svechnikov knocked in a loose puck 43 seconds later to put the Jets up 2-1.

Hayton tied the score at 16:40 with a great individual effort. He entered the zone on the rush, deked around a defender in the slot, then faked Comrie out of position and slid the puck home to make it 2-2.

Ritchie gave the Coyotes the lead at 13:56 of the second period. With Arizona's Loui Erikson behind the net, Comrie looked to his left. Erikson passed to Ritchie on Comrie's right and Ritchie banked the puck home off Comrie from a sharp angle.
