The Arizona Coyotes aren’t used to going a whole week without losing Youth Jaden Schwartz Jersey , especially twice in one season.But the Coyotes will try to win four in a row for the second time this fall when they visit the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night.Arizona (12-11-2) hasn’t had two winning streaks of at least four games in the same season since 2011-12. The Coyotes had two five-game winning streaks and a six-game winning streak that season before losing to the Kings in the Western Conference Finals.Article continues below ...The Coyotes will need to extend their winning streak without right wing Michael Grabner, who was struck in the left eye with an opponent’s stick during a 6-1 win against the visiting St. LouisBlues on Saturday night and is out indefinitely.Grabner is tied for third on the team with six goals.The Coyotes recalled forward Conor Garland from the Tucson Roadrunners of the American Hockey League.The Kings (10-16-1) haven’t won more than two games in a row this season, but they’ll try to build off their 2-0 win against the visiting Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday night.Jonathan Quick had 34 saves to become the third goalie for Los Angeles to record a shutout this season.“We’ve kind of dug ourselves a little bit of a hole here and we need to win games,” Quick said.The Kings have won two in a row at Staples Center to improve to 6-8-1 at home. They haven’t won three straight at home since the end of last season.“We’re going to have to get some victories as we go here,” Kings coach Willie Desjardins said.“We hadn’t been as good at home as we would’ve liked to have been.”Los Angeles has been scouring the waiver wire in recent days and they’ve claimed two wings they believe can help the lowest-scoring team in the league.The Kings claimed Brendan Leipsic off waivers from the Vancouver Canucks on Monday. Leipsic, 24, has played 81 games in his NHL career with the Canucks, Vegas Golden Knights and Toronto Maple Leafs.He made his NHL debut with the Maple Leafs in 2015-16 and became the first Toronto player to score in his NHL debut since Nikolay Kulemin in 2008. The Golden Knights selected him in the NHL Expansion Draft in 2017 and he played 44 games for Vegas before he was traded to the Canucks last February.He had five points (two goals, three assists) in 17 games with the Canucks this season.The Kings claimed Nikita Scherbak off waivers from the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday. Scherbak was a first-round draft pick of Montreal in 2014.The Coyotes acquired center Nick Schmaltz from the Chicago Blackhawks on Nov. 25 in exchange for forwards Dylan Strome and Brendan Perlini.Schmaltz has four points (one goal, three assists) in the past two games.“He’s a skilled guy, he’s poised with the puck Jake Allen Jersey , his lateral movement’s excellent,” Arizona coach Rick Tocchet told reporters after the win against St. Louis. “I think the sky’s the limit on him. There’s another level to him. He’s done a nice job for us. We’re excited to have him.” OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Led by the line of Derek Stepan, Vinnie Hinostroza and Richard Panik, the Arizona Coyotes added another victory to their recent surge.Hinostroza scored twice and had an assist to propel Arizona past the Ottawa Senators 3-2 on Tuesday night.Stepan also scored for the Coyotes, who are 6-1-1 in their last eight games. Darcy Kuemper stopped 25 shots.“They came out flying in the first 10 minutes and (Kuemper) kept us in the game,” Hinostroza said. “We stuck to what’s worked for us and it led to some goals and some good defense. We’ve been playing really good hockey right now and we like where this is going and we just want to keep it going.”Bobby Ryan and Ryan Dzingel had the goals for the Senators. Craig Anderson, making his second start after missing 12 games with a concussion, finished with 30 saves.Nobody will want to forget this game more than Ottawa rookie Brady Tkachuk. He struggled throughout and had a turnover that resulted in a Coyotes goal.“No one’s going to take it harder than him, I’m sure,” Ryan said. “As teammates we need to say Joel Edmundson Jersey , ‘We need you down the stretch. We need you to be the player that you’re going to be. You’re going to have growing pains. Everyone is going to turn pucks over, it’s just the way it goes.’“For him, he’s so competitive and so hard on himself that you want to lighten that load on him a little bit as older guys and just tell him, ‘We’re not blaming that game on you by any means or that goal.’ It’s all part of the game, but Brady’s going to be a hell of a player and we’re going to stick by him.”The Coyotes led 3-1 to start the third period, but Ottawa made it a one-goal game when Dzingel scored his 20th at the seven-minute mark.Mark Stone had a great chance for the equalizer, but was unable to get a decent shot off in time.Trailing 1-0, the Senators tied the game in the opening minutes of the second. Dzingel made a great pass to Ryan, who made no mistake in beating Kuemper high glove side.Arizona wasted no time regaining the lead, scoring twice in a span of three minutes.“We had a tough second period,” Anderson said. “It was one of those things where we played pretty good in the first Vladimir Tarasenko Jersey , and the second period it was back and forth and they had momentum for a little bit and got momentum and got a couple goals.”Hinostroza got his second of the game when he took a bounce off the end boards and squeezed the puck behind Anderson.Stepan made it 3-1 when he completed a nice give-and-go with Panik.“The Stepan line was excellent,” Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet said. “They had a lot of possession time, they changed momentum when they were on the ice, so they did a great job for us.”The Coyotes opened the scoring midway through the period as they took advantage of Tkachuk’s turnover. Panik intercepted Tkachuk’s pass and sent the puck to Hinostroza, who was all alone at the side of the net.Earlier in the period Tkachuk fell at the blue line, allowing Josh Archibald to break in alone on Anderson.The win did prove costly for the Coyotes as captain Oliver Ekman-Larsson left the game with a lower-body injury and will be re-evaluated Wednesday. Niklas Hjalmarsson exited early in the third after taking a puck to the face, but he returned.NOTES: The Senators were without Ben Harpur and Colin White, while Rudolfs Balcers was a healthy scratch. … Ilya Lyubushkin and Laurent Dauphin were healthy scratches for the Coyotes.UP NEXTCoyotes: Back in action Wednesday at Montreal.Senators: Off until Feb. 1 when they take on Pittsburgh.
