GLENDALE Michael Frolik Jersey , Ariz. (AP) — Nick Schmaltz is turning out to be the kind of player the Arizona Coyotes hoped he’d be when they traded two former first-round picks for him.And, 22-year-old Adin Hill has been stellar in net.The two helped the Arizona Coyotes overpower the St. Louis Blues 6-1 on Saturday night. Schmaltz had two assists and has three points in three games since coming over from Chicago, and Hill has stopped 59 of 60 shots in Arizona’s last three games, including 25 saves on Saturday.“If we’re moving our feet, I don’t think a lot of teams can skate with us,” Schmaltz said. “When we’re playing fast and moving the puck north, our speed and skills can take over and eventually wear teams out.”“The sky’s the limit on him,” Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet said of Schmaltz. “There’s another level to him.”Clayton Keller had a goal and two assists and the Coyotes netted four second-period goals. Richard Panik, Jakob Chychrun, Christian Fischer, Nick Cousins and Alex Goligoski also scored for the Coyotes.Panik added an assist and Derek Stepan had two as Arizona won its third straight.Hill, pressed into service with the Coyotes’ top two goaltenders, Antti Raanta and Darcy Kuemper, out with injuries Authentic Mikael Backlund Jersey , won his second consecutive start.“Our team did a great job boxing guys out and letting me see the puck,” Hill said.Robert Thomas scored for the Blues, who have lost three of four.

But Thomas responded quickly when he re-directed Jay Bouwmeester’s shot past Hill at 1:26.The third goal inside of the first three minutes of the second went to the Coyotes’ Fischer, who put away a loose puck amid a flurry of activity in front of the St. Louis net at 2:59.Panik stuffed in a rebound at 17:02 off Vinnie Hinostroza’s attempt from in close. The fatigued Blues, who played an overtime game on Friday, couldn’t keep up with the Coyotes’ tempo.“I tried to do my best, it just wasn’t good enough,” Johnson said. “It’s tough to be a part of these, that’s for sure.”Kelller set up the final goal at 14:08 of the third period when he worked the puck around several defenders before dishing to Goligoski. The Coyotes outshot the Blues 44-26, while St. Louis had 28 minutes in penalties.“The whole first period was us not being disciplined enough,” Blues defenseman Ryan O’Reilly said. “We just handed them the game.”Despite only a 1-for-7 on power plays Mike Smith Jersey , the Coyotes were pleased with their effort in such situations.“We had a lot of shots and a lot of chances,” Tocchet said. “You don’t always have to score, but it builds momentum and I like that about the power play tonight.”NOTES: Blues D Alex Pietrangelo missed his first game of the season due to an upper-body injury.

DALLAS (AP) — Jamie Benn kept up his scoring binge and helped the Dallas Stars get another win.Benn scored his fifth goal in six games, and the Stars beat the Edmonton Oilers 4-1 on Monday night.“Jamie Benn has been phenomenal all year,” Stars coach Jim Montgomery said. “It’s getting close to 10 games now that he’s winning so many battles. When your best players are your hardest workers you start to see the team build.”Jason Dickinson, Brett Ritchie and Esa Lindell also scored in the Stars’ third straight win. Mattias Janmark had two assists and Anton Khudobin stopped 28 shots.Jujhar Khaira spoiled Khudobin’s shutout bid with 5:24 left in the third and Mikko Koskinen finished with 21 saves as the Oilers snapped a three-game win streak.

He assisted on Dickinson’s first-period goal and then scored his first of the season at 1:51 of the third period for a 2-0 lead.“We talked to (Ritchie) about his puck possession needs to be better,” Montgomery said, “and the first goal of the game he wins a forecheck, moves it, protects it, which ended up being the goal.”Ritchie said he learned during his hiatus from the ice.“There’s a lot you can learn, a lot you can work on to make sure you’re ready Artemi Panarin Jersey ,” he said. “It was just a matter of me getting my legs under me early and just getting back in the flow.”Edmonton coach Ken Hitchcock said Ritchie’s goal was a difference maker.“When they got their second goal, that took some wind out of our sails.
