GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Dave Tippett growled when a reporter noted that he has an impressive record against the Edmonton Oilers.

"That's the past," the Arizona Coyotes coach said.

There is no denying the present, however. Not after Thursday's contest at Gila River Arena.

After spotting an opponent the lead for the fourth straight game, Arizona stormed back with four unanswered goals to defeat the Oilers for the sixth straight time 4-1.

Defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson, right winger Shane Doan, defenseman Stefan Elliott and left winger Max Domi scored for Arizona, which won its third straight game behind 27 saves from goalie Mike Smith.

Left winger Taylor Hall had the lone goal for the Oilers, who got 17 saves from Anders Nilsson.

"We didn't create enough to beat them tonight," Oilers right winger Leon Draisaitl said. "We knew they wouldn't give us much, but when you know that, I think that's when you really have to pull together and try and create as much as possible."

With the win, the Coyotes stretched their points streak against the Oilers to 19 games, their longest points streak against the same opponent in franchise history. Since Tippett became the coach in 2009-10, the Coyotes are 21-2-3 against Edmonton in his tenure.

The Coyotes haven't lost to Edmonton since Jan. 25, 2011.

"I didn't realize it had been that long," Doan said. "I'm glad I didn't know that before the game."

It may not have mattered.

Hall put Edmonton on top just 3:03 into the first period on a perfectly executed give-and-go with Draisaitl.

Hall gave Draisaitl the puck on the left wing and then cut to the net in front of Arizona defenseman Michael Stone to receive the feed. Hall's backhand slipped through Smith for his team-leading seventh goal of the season and a 1-0 lead.

Just as they had done in their two previous games, however, the Coyotes rallied. Ekman-Larsson evened the score when his shot from the far boards found its way through heavy traffic and Nilsson at 16:49 of the first period.

Ekman-Larsson recorded his first goal since opening night against the Los Angeles Kings. Center Brad Richardson created a perfect screen.

Doan gave the Coyotes a 2-1 lead off a slick feed from Domi to the doorstep for a tap-in at 13:47 of the second period. It was Doan's 116th career power-play goal, moving him within six of Dale Hawerchuk for the franchise record. It was also Arizona's third power-play goal in the past four games after the team managed just five through the first 12.

"I think he did it maybe half the games, maybe a third," Doan said in deference to Hawerchuk, a boyhood idol. "I'm a big fan and I think he's a special guy that didn't ever get the recognition he deserved."

Elliott padded the Coyotes' lead when he banged in the rebound of left winger John Scott's shot from the top of the circle at 17:29 of the second period.

It was Elliott's first goal and point as a Coyote since coming over in a trade with the Colorado Avalanche for Brandon Gormley. Scott earned his first point as a Coyote in just his fourth game in uniform.

Domi scored his eighth goal of the season when he swiped home a cross-ice pass from Stone at 11:28 of the third period for a 4-1 lead. Domi leads all rookies in goals and is second in points (15), one behind Chicago's Artemi Panarin.

"We didn't give up a lot of chances," said Nilsson, who was auditioning for Edmonton's No.1 goalie spot. "Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make those extra saves that the team needed tonight."

The Coyotes are now an impressive 5-1 against Pacific Division teams and 6-2 against the Western Conference.

"You've got to put an emphasis on your division because that's one of the ways you get into the playoffs," Tippett said. "Do you play any different? No, you don't play any different, but you certainly recognize it's an opponent that you can have a bearing on the standings against."
