GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The rosters have changed over the past seven years. So have the respective strengths of the teams. One thing has remained constant. Arizona Coyotes coach Dave Tippett owns the Edmonton Oilers.

Alex Tanguay, Tobias Rieder, Martin Hanzal and Max Domi scored, and goalie Mike Smith made 27 saves as the Coyotes extended their franchise-record points streak against the Oilers to 23 games with a 4-2 win on Tuesday at Gila River Arena.

Arizona is 19-0-4 during the streak and Tippett improved to 24-2-4 against Edmonton in his seven seasons in Arizona. The last time Arizona lost to Edmonton in regulation was on Jan. 25, 2011.

"I wish I could explain it but I can't," Tippett said. "That's a team that if you give them a lot of outnumbered chances or give them easy chances they can really hurt you but Smitty cleaned up a few of those for us tonight."

Jordan Eberle and Mark Letestu scored for Edmonton, which got 27 saves from Cam Talbot but lost its second straight one-goal game to fall into the Western Conference cellar.

"I think from our end we'd like to have the first goal back," Edmonton coach Todd McLellan said. "We had missed an assignment on a faceoff that cost us and we had numerous scoring chances that we didn’t bury. That's probably the difference."

Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson made a quick impact in his first game back after missing six with a bruised shoulder. Oilers goalie Cam Talbot couldn't handle Ekman-Larsson's shot from the point and the rebound bounced to Tanguay at the right post. Tanguay banged it in for his eighth goal of the season at 5:38 of the first period.

It was Tanguay's fourth goal in nine games with Arizona since coming over from Colorado in a trade-deadline deal. The goal broke a 126-minute, 32-second scoring drought for Arizona, which had been shut out in its last two games.

Ekman-Larsson was on the ice for all four Coyotes goals and was a plus-3 in the game.

Edmonton tied the game at 9:04 of the first period when former Coyote Lauri Korpikoski tried to jam the puck in at the far post off a rebound of Connor McDavid's initial shot. Goalie Mike Smith made a pair of saves, but the rebound squirted under defenseman Connor Murphy to Eberle. Eberle tucked it in the open side for 23rd goal of the season and third in his past five games.

The Coyotes took a 2-1 lead on a power play at 12:22 of the second period when Hanzal set up a screen in front of Talbot and deflected Michael Stone's shot from the point off the post and in for his 11th goal of the season.

Rieder widened the lead to 3-1 at 17:02 when he cut across the slot largely uncontested by the Edmonton defense and slipped the puck in the far side past Talbot.

"I was kind of surprised I got the lane to the net first of all and then it just kind of stuck to me," said Rieder, who scored just his second goal in his last 21 games. "It’s good to get on the board."

Edmonton answered on a power play at 17:56 with Coyotes captain Shane Doan off for holding. Defenseman Andrej Sekera sent a cross-ice pass to Letestu at the top of left circle and Letestu blew a one-timer past Smith with his own defenseman, Klas Dahlbeck, screening him to cut the lead to 3-2.

Domi added an empty-net goal for Arizona. Domi, who went 13 games without a goal, has seven points (five goals) in five games against the Oilers.

"We battled hard," Letestu said. "We had them hemmed in and in their zone for a lot of the third period. We just couldn't find that third one."
