Here are five things we learned from the Coyotes' 3-2 overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday at Gila River Arena:
1. Alex Galchenyuk could be heating up
Coyotes winger Alex Galchenyuk had gone seven consecutive games without registering a goal or assist, but the former No. 3 overall pick lit the lamp twice in Saturday’s 3-2 overtime loss, scoring both Coyotes goals.
Saturday marked the debut of the Coyotes’ new second line rolled out by head coach Rick Tocchet. The line featured Galchenyuk on the left wing, Nick Cousins at center and Conor Garland (fresh off a five-game run as a healthy scratch) on the right wing.
