Travis Boyd scored at 3:10 of overtime and the Arizona Coyotes extended their points streak to six with a 4-3 victory over the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night.
Clayton Keller scored twice, including a go-ahead, short-handed tally at 2:01 of the third period for his 31st goal of the season. Matias Maccelli also scored for Arizona.
Keller became the first Coyotes player with 30 goals in a season in 11 years when he scored 9:22 into the first period off a pass from Barrett Hayton. The last was Radim Vrbata, who had 35 goals in 2011-12.
It was Keller’s second two-goal game in a row. On Sunday in a 5-4 overtime win over Minnesota, he scored the winner.
Boyd’s 12th of the season was the winner this time.
Mikael Backlund, Jonathan Huberdeau and Walker Duehr scored for Calgary, five points out of the final Western Conference playoff spot.
Huberdeau deflected a shot by former Coyote Troy Stecher past Connor Ingram to tie it at 3 for Calgary with 5:01 left in the third period. Dillon Dube also assisted on the tying goal.

Ingram stopped 42 shots for Arizona, while Jacob Markstrom had 21 saves for Calgary.
Backlund opened the scoring at 8:14 when he beat Ingram from in close. Keller’s 30th tied it just over a minute later.
Maccelli gave the Coyotes their first lead 55 seconds into the second period, scoring his sixth goal of the season with Jack McBain and Lawson Crouse assisting. That advantage lasted just 1:08 as Duehr’s shot from the right side got past Ingram. Milan Lucic and Noah Hanifin were credited with the assists on Duehr’s fourth goal of the season.
Arizona appeared to take the lead at 7:12 of the second, but the goal was disallowed due to goaltender interference.
While the Coyotes have struggled on the road, they have taken advantage of the intimate atmosphere of the Mullett Center, winning four in a row, nine of their last 13 and overall are 18-11-3 in their first season in the 4,500-seat arena on Arizona State University’s campus. Tuesday’s victory equalled the Coyotes’ longest home winning streak of the season (Jan. 26-Feb. 19).
