At Glendale, Arizona, Ladislav Nagy scored the deciding goal in a shootout, giving Phoenix a victory and ending St. Louis' three-game winning streak.
The first two skaters for both teams failed to score in the shootout before the Blues' Doug Weight beat Mikael Tellqvist. But Shane Doan kept the Coyotes alive with a goal against Manny Legace and then Tellqvist blocked Peter Sejna's shot to set up Nagy's winner.
