"I've liked that line for three or four games," Vancouver coach Willie Desjardins said. "I think Burrows helps them, he talks to those guys and prepares from for shifts. And the other two guys have a lot of talent. Horvat is playing well and Baertschi has found his game lately."
Goalie Ryan Miller made 35 saves and is 10-1-0 in 11 career games against Arizona.
Christian Dvorak scored for the Coyotes (6-10-2), who outshot Vancouver 36-25 but were victims of their own mistakes. Goalie Mike Smith allowed three goals on six shots in the second period and was replaced by Louis Domingue after Burrows made it 4-1 at 6:49.
"It was awful. I was sleeping from the first goal. It was not even close," Smith said. "We did a lot of good things I thought in front of me, but I didn't get rewarded for those things and that falls on my shoulders tonight."
Smith had 13 saves and Domingue made nine for Arizona. But coach Dave Tippett said the problems ran deeper than goaltending.
"There were parts of the game where we liked how we were played, but there were pure execution mistakes," Tippett said. "We've got to make plays. It's all well and good that everybody is willing to fall on the sword, but just do the job. Do the job together and we'll find ways to win."
After Baertschi scored early in the first, the Coyotes tied the game 58 seconds into the second period. With Anthony Duclair providing a screen, Dvorak was in front of the crease and deflected an Tony DeAngelo pass by Miller. Dvorak's second goal made it 1-1, but Vancouver answered quickly and often.
