Dylan Guenther had a goal and two assists to guide the Arizona Coyotes to a 5-2 victory over the Washington Capitals on Sunday.

Jason Zucker, a potential target heading into the trade deadline, Logan Cooley, Nick Schmaltz and Michael Kesselring also hit the mark for the Coyotes.

Karel Vejmelka stopped 24 pucks for the Arizona squad, which won its second straight game after going through a 14-game losing streak.

Sonny Milano and Anthony Mantha responded for the Capitals, who suffered a big blow in the playoff race.

They are now six points behind the Philadelphia Flyers for third place in the Metropolitan Division, as well as seven behind the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Detroit Red Wings for one of the two drafted team spots.

Charlie Lindgren allowed four goals on 27 shots for the Capitals, who will have to wonder if they will be sellers at the deadline.
