Barrett Hayton's goal with a minute remaining in overtime lifted Arizona to a 5-4 win over the Anaheim Ducks in Tempe, Ariz., on Saturday, ending the Coyotes' nine-game losing streak.

Clayton Keller collected his 37th goal and 48th assist of the season for the Coyotes (28-39-13, 69 points), giving him 85 points. With two games left, Keller is one point shy of Keith Tkachuk's single-season franchise record set during the 1996-97 campaign.

Matias Maccelli had a goal and an assist and Christian Fischer and Lawson Crouse also scored for the Coyotes, who also received two assists apiece from J.J. Moser and Nick Schmaltz.

Adam Henrique scored twice, Ryan Strome had a goal and two assists and Max Jones had a goal and an assist for the Ducks (23-45-11, 57 points), whose losing streak reached a franchise-record 10 games. Derek Grant had two assists.

In overtime, Maccelli got a pass from Juuso Valimaki and found a streaking Hayton, who wristed a shot between Ducks goalie Olle Eriksson Ek's legs.
