GLENDALE, Ariz. --Oliver Ekman-Larsson scored in overtime to give the Arizona Coyotes a 4-3 win against the Philadelphia Flyers in their season opener at Gila River Arena on Saturday.
Ekman-Larsson, whose eight game-winning goals last season set an NHL record for defensemen, scored off a pass from Martin Hanzal with 1:48 remaining after the Flyers had possessed the puck for almost the entire overtime.
