Granlund scores in OT, Canucks beat Coyotes 3-2

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Markus Granlund's first goal as a Canuck gave Vancouver fans a much-needed taste of home-ice victory.

Granlund scored 1:42 into overtime to help the Canucks beat the Arizona Coyotes 3-2 Wednesday night.

Granlund scored on a 2-on-1 with Jake Virtanen. Granlund was acquired from the Flames in a trade on Feb. 22 for Hunter Shinkaruk.

Those home victories have felt far and few between this season for the Canucks, who are now 12-16-5 at Rogers Arena.

"It's big for us and for the fans.
