Clayton Keller capped his first hat trick on a goal with 22.4 seconds left in overtime, giving the Arizona Coyotes a 5-4 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday night in Tempe, Ariz.
With time winding down, Keller got the puck, skated through the slot, then beat Philadelphia netminder Carter Hart (24 saves) on the glove side for the Coyotes, who’ve followed a 4-7-3 road stretch with two straight home wins. Keller opened the scoring and also scored on a breakaway in the second for Arizona, which got a goal and an assist from Nick Ritchie in addition to Jack McBain’s score.
Morgan Frost and James van Riemsdyk each had a goal and three assists, Owen Tippett recorded one of each and Travis Konecny also scored for the Flyers, who fired a season-high 41 shots, but fell to 0-6 in overtime. Philadelphia is in an 0-3-5 road rut and is 2-10-5 overall since Nov. 10.
With the game tied 3-3, Ritchie stole Konecny’s pass, corralled the puck, then broke free and beat Hart to put Arizona ahead 7:27 into the third. However, Konecny redeemed himself when he pushed the puck, amid some consistent net-front pressure by the Flyers, past Arizona netminder Karel Vejmelka (37 saves) with 2:17 remaining in regulation.

Jack Roslovic had two goals and two assists, Laine and Gaudreau each had a goal and two assists and Elvis Merzlikins made 33 saves for the Blue Jackets. For the Kings, who are 2-1-1 on a six-game road trip, Anze Kopitar scored two goals, and Quick made 20 saves.
