Ducks 5, Coyotes 2: Captain Ryan Getzlaf and defensemen Cam Fowler and Hampus Lindholm each recorded a goal and an assist as Anaheim remained perfect at home.
Corey Perry and Andrew Cogliano also scored while Nick Bonino notched a pair of assists for the Ducks, who improved to 6-0-0 in their own building and 6-0-1 in their last seven overall contests. Jonas Hiller turned aside 24 shots.
Captain Shane Doan and defenseman Michael Stone tallied for Phoenix, which had its five-game winning streak halted. Mike Smith finished with 24 saves.
Lindholm forged a 1-1 tie with five minutes remaining in the first period, beating Smith from the slot for his first career goal. Getzlaf knotted the contest at 2-2 during a two-man advantage as his one-timer from above the left faceoff circle deflected off Martin Hanzal's stick and past Smith with 4:24 left in the second.
Anaheim moved ahead with 1.1 seconds to go in the session, when Lindholm's blast from the blue line glanced off Perry and into the net. Fowler created breathing room with a one-timer from above the slot during a power play midway through the third and Cogliano sealed the win with an empty-net goal late in the session.
