GLENDALE -- Radim Vrbata scored in the shootout to give the Phoenix Coyotes a 3-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday night.
Phoenix goalie Ilya Bryzgalov stopped Corey Perry, Ryan Getzlaf and Teemu Selanne in the tiebreaker to preserve the win. The Coyotes earned their ninth win of October, tying a franchise record.
Selanne gave the Ducks the lead midway through the third period when his shot from the right face-off circle deflected off Bryzgalov's right pad and into the net.
Phoenix tied it 18 seconds later when Vernon Fiddler, untouched and to the left of goalie Jonas Hiller, converted a pass from Sami Lapisto at 10:31 for his second of the season.
