GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Buffalo Sabres completed a season sweep of the Phoenix Coyotes on Thursday, winning each game of the two games with a goal that came under unusual circumstances.
Zemgus Girgensons snapped a 2-2 tie with an unassisted shorthanded goal 1:52 into the third period to lead the Sabres to a 3-2 win against the Coyotes at Jobing.com Arena.
The Coyotes were looking to take the lead on the power play when Cody Hodgson drew his third penalty of the game 1:30 into the third. But Buffalo got the puck into the Phoenix zone, where Girgensons took the puck right off the stick of Coyotes defenseman Keith Yandle near the left post and put it between the pads of goalie Thomas Greiss for the game-winner.
Ryan Miller made 38 saves for Buffalo and improved to a perfect 6-0-0 against Phoenix in his career.
Sabres forward Matt Moulson left the game after a hit by Coyotes captain Shane Doan in the third period.
Red-hot Antoine Vermette scored his 20th goal of the season and David Moss also scored for Phoenix. Greiss finished with 25 saves
The Sabres have 15 wins this season, the fewest in the NHL, but two have come against Phoenix. On Dec. 23, they won 2-1 in Buffalo when Phoenix goalie Mike Smith skated back into his own net in overtime, unaware a fluttering puck had lodged in the back of his hockey pants.
Tyler Ennis and Steve Ott scored for the Sabres.
The Coyotes put 20 shots on Miller in the first period, but the Sabres scored the first goal on a nice play by their top line.
Moulson was all alone in front of the crease and was set up by Girgensons. Greiss stopped the point-blank shot but Ennis pounced on the rebound and put it high under the bar at 6:08 for his 12th goal of the year.
Buffalo scored the first goal of a game for the 17th time in 53 games this season, but 18 minutes of hard work evaporated late in the first period.
Hodgson was penalized for holding Martin Hanzal and the red-hot Phoenix power play cashed in. Miller stopped Yandle's shot through traffic from the high point, but Mikkel Boedker poked the rebound to the side of the net, where Vermette was waiting to sweep in the rebound at 18:38.
Vermette's goal was his eighth in eight games and extended his point streak to five games.
Eighteen seconds later, Jeff Halpern carried a Zbynek Michalek pass hard to the left post. Miller stopped the shot but the rebound squirted out between the circles and right to the unmarked Moss, who flipped in a backhander for his sixth goal and first in the past 17 games to make it 2-1.
But as dominant as the Coyotes were in the first period, they were just as inept in the second. They had one shot on goal in the first 12 minutes, and a Paul Bissonnette holding penalty proved costly.
Greiss stopped Alexander Sulzer's shot from the point, but two Sabres were in the crease to battle for the loose puck. Ville Leino pushed at the puck before Ott got it on his stick and punched in the power-play goal at 6:38. The goal was Ott's eighth of the season and the ninth road power-play goal in 24 road games for Buffalo.
Phoenix had a power play late in the period. Oliver Ekman-Larsson had a good chance, but his shot skimmed off the crossbar and hit referee Trevor Hanson square in the nose. Hanson skated off the ice on his own power and later returned.
