Christian Dvorak scored a pair of goals and the Arizona Coyotes beat the Winnipeg Jets 4-2 on Tuesday night.

The Coyotes had lost 10 straight games in Winnipeg, since the Jets franchise moved from Atlanta in 2011.

Nick Schmaltz had a goal and two assists for Arizona and Conor Garland also scored. Oliver Ekman-Larsson finished with two assists.

Darcy Kuemper made 38 saves for the Coyotes. He has allowed two goals or less in 11 straight games, tying the franchise record set by Nikolai Khabibulin.

Mark Scheifele had a goal and an assist and extended his point streak to five games with his team-leading fourth goal of the season for Winnipeg.

Kyle Connor also scored for Winnipeg, and Josh Morrissey had a pair of assists.

Connor Hellebuyck stopped 31 shots for the Jets, who were playing the second game of a five-game homestand and coming off a 7-2 loss to Pittsburgh.

The teams were tied 1-1 after the first period, but Arizona scored a pair of power-play goals and led 4-1 following the second.

With Coyotes forward Derek Stepan off for hooking, Patrik Laine blasted a shot that hit the post and Scheifele sent the rebound past Kuemper at 7:35 of the first.

Garland deflected a shot from the point by Ekman-Larrson with eight seconds remaining in the opening period to tie it.

Dvorak and Schmaltz scored with the man advantage just over two minutes apart in the second to stretch Arizona's lead to 3-1 at 7:21.

Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey had accidentally flipped the puck into his own net after Dvorak touched it.

Schmaltz then scored through traffic and Dvorak added his second goal of the game when he beat Hellebuyck on the glove side at 17:47.

With Garland in the penalty box for a high-sticking double minor against Laine, Connor flipped a backhand shot by Kuemper at 4:48 of the third to make it 4-2.

Winnipeg had another power play with five minutes left in the third, but failed to convert.

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Tyon Grant-Foster made three straight baskets in overtime to give No. 7 Gonzaga its first lead since early in the first half, and the Bulldogs rallied for an 80-72 win over Seattle on Friday night in the first meeting between the cross-state programs since 1980.

Braden Huff scored 28 points and Graham Ike added 24 points and 10 rebounds for the Bulldogs (15-1, 3-0 West Coast Conference), who trailed by eight points at halftime and by 13 early in the second half. Gonzaga won its eighth straight game since being blown out by current No. 2 Michigan in the Players Era Festival in late November.

Grant-Foster finished with 19 points. His layup with 2:25 left in overtime put Gonzaga ahead 70-68, and he added two more buckets for a six-point advantage.

Brayden Maldonado scored 17 points for Seattle (12-4, 1-2 WCC), which is in its first season as a member of the WCC and is off to its best start since rejoining Division I in 2008.

Gonzaga came in averaging 93 points per game, 12th most in the country, but struggled offensively most of the night.

Seattle led 37-29 at halftime. It was only the second time this season the Zags were behind at the break.

Yeo Junseok, a former Gonzaga player, hit a pair of 3-pointers as Seattle expanded its lead to 52-39.

The Zags methodically closed the gap over the final eight minutes of regulation. Braeden Smith's two free throws tied it at 65-all with 20 seconds left, and Maldonado missed a 3-point attempt at the buzzer that would have won it for the Redhawks.

Seattle: At Saint Mary's on Sunday.

Gonzaga: Hosts Loyola Marymount on Sunday.
