Nick Johnson helps Phoenix earn a point | 01/31/2013 1:31 AM

News

Nick Johnson scored a game-tying goal with 19 seconds left, but the Phoenix Coyotes eventually lost to the Edmonton Oilers in overtime on Wednesday 2-1.

Rotoworld.com

Impact

Johnson might be the beneficiary of Steve Sullivan's injury, as his time on ice jumped from 8:18 on Monday to 18:02 tonight. Then again, he has the hot hand, scoring two points on Jan. 28 and the Coyotes' only tally on Wednesday. He's scored twice on four SOG so far, so it's unlikely he'll keep this luck up very long.
