Arizona win with Grabner

Michael Grabner and his Arizona Coyotes (26-18-5) celebrate a 6:3 win over San Jose (21-23-4). It gets tight again towards the end. Phil Kessel (13., 26./PP) gives the home side a 2:0 lead. Kevin Lebanc (27.) and Timo Maier (30.) level for the visitors before Taylor Hall (38.) puts the "Coyotes" back in front in the second period.

Lawson Crouse (49.) restores the two-goal lead before Evander Kane (58./PP) gives the Sharks hope again. San Jose go all out, pull goaltender Aaron Dell and are punished: Conor Garland (59.) and Hall score into the empty net to seal the final score.

Arizona are second in the Western Conference behind St. Louis (30-10-7). In his return, Grabner spends just under 10 minutes on the ice but remains inconspicuous.
