Connor Ingram, Coyotes silence Golden Knights

Connor Ingram made 34 saves for his second career shutout as the Arizona Coyotes snapped a three-game losing streak with a 2-0 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday night in Las Vegas.

Lawson Crouse scored his 10th goal of the season, all in November, and Clayton Keller also scored for Arizona.

It was Ingram's first shutout of the season. He has won five of his last six starts.

Logan Thompson finished with 16 saves for Vegas, which was shut out for the third time in its last six games. The Golden Knights, who opened the season with an 11-0-1 run, fell to 3-5-1 over their last nine games and lost for just the second time in regulation (8-2-1) at home this season.

Scoring chances were at a premium during the first two periods with the two teams combining for just 30 shots on goal, including just 10 by Arizona, which went over 10 minutes without a shot on goal in the first period and also the final nine minutes to end the second period. It marked the first time this season the Golden Knights entered the third period tied in a scoreless contest.

Vegas had the best scoring chances over the first two periods. Ingram made a point-blank save on Jonathan Marchessault's shot in the first period and also gloved a deflection by Alex Pietrangelo in front of the crease off a crossing pass by Ivan Barbashev late in the second period.

Keller finally scored the first goal of the game at the 10:38 mark of the third period with his eighth goal of the season. Logan Cooley dug the puck out along the back boards and then passed it toward the front of the net where it deflected off the stick of Vegas defenseman Brayden McNabb right to Keller alone by the left side of the goal. Keller then backhanded a shot inside the far post.

Thompson was pulled for an extra attacker with 1:45 remaining and Crouse sealed the win with an empty-netter with 1:17 to go.
