In Anaheim, California, Christian Fischer and Clayton Keller each scored two goals and added an assist to spark the Arizona Coyotes to a 5-1 win over the Ducks on Wednesday.

Max Domi also scored for the Coyotes in their preseason opener, which came two days later than expected. Their original opener against the Los Angeles Kings at Gila River Arena was cancelled due to poor ice conditions.

Arizona goalie Louis Domingue made 20 saves in two periods, and Hunter Miska finished with three stops.

Max Jones scored Anaheim’s lone goal. Kevin Boyle played the entire game in goal for the Ducks, stopping 26 shots.
