GLENDALE, Ariz. — Logan Couture and Tim Heed scored in the shootout to lift the San Jose Sharks to a 5-4 win over the Arizona Coyotes at Gila River Arena.

Heed, the 10th shooter, scored the game-winner.

Max Domi scored Arizona’s goal in the tiebreaker.

Mikkel Boedker scored twice in the first period for San Jose, and Barclay Goodrow and Kevin Labanc scored in the second.

Nick Cousins had two goals for Arizona, and Derek Stepan and Luke Schenn also scored. Stepan also had an assist in the game. He was acquired this summer in a trade with the New York Rangers that also yielded goaltender Antti Raanta.

Raanta made 28 saves in the first two periods before being replaced by Marek Langhamer, who stopped all 12 shots he faced in the third period and overtime.

Troy Grosenick made 24 saves as he played the entire game in goal for the Sharks.
