The Phoenix Coyotes erased a 3-0 third period deficit on Thursday night in Florida and managed to walk away with a 4-3 win. Their win, combined with San Jose's loss in Vancouver, pulls the Coyotes to within just three points of the top spot in the Western Conference. After Martin Hanzal and Lee Stempniak started the comeback early in the third period -- Stempniak's goal was his seventh in seven games since joining Phoenix at the trade deadline -- Radim Vrbata completed it with one minute remaining in regulation.
As he carried the puck to the red line, Vrbata simply dumped it into the Florida zone and watched as it took a couple of bounces, and somehow found its way behind Panthers goaltender Tomas Vokoun.
Vokoun is one of the best goalies in the league -- he currently has the second best save percentage in the NHL -- but that's one he would obviously like to forget.
