GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Arizona Coyotes right winger Anthony Duclair hadn't scored all season and it was eating at him. He won't have to fret any longer. The Coyotes' second-year forward had a goal in the third period to tie the game, and he scored one of two goals in the shootout as Arizona won its second straight game with a 3-2 win over Nashville on Thursday at Gila River Arena.

Radim Vrbata also scored in the shootout for Arizona, which improved to 4-6 and 3-1 at home. Nashville fell to 3-5-2 and finished its road trip at 1-2-2.

Louis Domingue made 35 saves for Arizona. Pekka Rinne had 26 for Nashville.

The Coyotes took an early lead when rookie center Christian Dvorak got behind the Nashville defense, waited an extra beat to get goaltender Pekka Rinne down, and then flipped a backhand over Rinne's pads at 9:17 of the first period. Dvorak had just been recalled form Tucson of the American Hockey League one day earlier, after being sent down on Monday.

Nashville tied it when defenseman Matt Irwin's shot from the point deflected off Arizona defenseman Alex Goligoski's stick and over goaltender Louis Domingue's pad at 17:55 for Irwin's second goal of the season and second in as many games.

Nashville outshot the Coyotes 18-6 in the first period and had three power plays, including a brief 5-on-3 that Arizona killed thanks to a key faceoff win by center Brad Richardson in the defensive zone.

Nashville right winger Craig Smith gave the Predators a 2-1 lead on Nashville's fifth power play of the game when he took a backhand feed from defenseman P.K. Subban and ripped a wrist shot over Domingue's blocker at 3:25 of the second period. Subban did all the work by carrying the puck through the neutral zone and drawing the defense to him. The goal came with Coyotes left wing Jamie McGinn serving a penalty for boarding Irwin.

Duclair scored his first goal of the season to end a 10-game run of frustration when he banged in a rebound of Max Domi's initial bid in front of Rinne. The goal came at the 5:48 mark of the third period as Arizona turned up the heat and turned the tables in the shot department, outshooting Nashville 18-8 from the start if the second period to the midpoint of the third.

Nashville entered the game as the NHL's No. 2 ranked power play at 33.3 percent, but the Predators went 1 for 7 (14.2 percent) against the Coyotes' 26th-ranked penalty-killing unit, including a 4-on-3 opportunity in overtime.
