 SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Between Curtis Joseph's frantic goaltending and a goal from a guy nicknamed "No-Panic," the Phoenix Coyotes finally showed a little poise away from home.
Yanic Perreault scored on a wraparound with 40.9 seconds to play, and the Coyotes recovered from blowing a two-goal lead to beat the San Jose Sharks 3-2 Thursday night for just their fourth road win all season.
Coach Wayne Gretzky hasn't been able to reach his last-place team for much of the season, particularly on matters of late-game execution. He can't remember how many late leads his team has blown — but in a tough road arena against one of the NHL's best teams, the Coyotes got the hard work and good fortune they needed.
