Of the last 4:04 of the contest, four minutes were spent on the power play for the Canucks, thanks to Martin Hanzal double minor for high sticking.

Hanzal had eight penalty minutes on the night, with tripping and slashing minors coming prior to his late-game double minor.

Both the Coyotes and Canucks managed 11 shots on goal in the 1st period, with Vermette scoring the period’s lone goal at 12:51.
