Coyotes Out-Hustle Flyers, 3-2

Posted Dec 19, 07 12:15 AM CST in Sports 

(Newser) – Wayne Gretzky's hardworking Coyotes dealt the swooning Flyers their third straight loss at Wachovia Center, breaking through for three goals in a late ten-minute span. The game-winner belonged to Randy Mueller, who deftly knocked a rebound past Philadelphia's Martin Biron for his ninth goal of the season—second among all rookies.

Phoenix unleashed nine shots against Biron in the first six minutes, reports the Philadelphia Inquirer, but Philly had the game's first two goals; Scott Hartnell had a successful close-range power-play deflection in the first period, and Mike Richards piled on in the second. Ilya Bryzgalov had 26 saves in the win.
