GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Defenseman Andrej Meszaros scored two goals for the second straight game and the Buffalo Sabres ended a five-game losing streak with a 4-1 win against the Arizona Coyotes at Gila River Arena on Monday.

Connor Murphy scored 1:17 into the game for the Coyotes, who defeated the Sabres 4-3 in overtime in Buffalo five days ago. But Sabres goalie Anders Lindback shut Arizona out from there and finished with 28 saves.

With Buffalo clinging to a 2-1 lead, Lindback got the toe of his skate on an Oliver Ekman-Larsson power-play shot with four minutes left.

Brian Gionta added a shorthanded, empty-net goal with 1:49 left to give Buffalo a regulation win on the road for the fifth time this season. Rasmus Ristolainen scored an empty-net goal with 43 seconds left.

The Coyotes (23-46-8) continue to struggle at home, where they are 0-7-1 in the past eight games and 1-15-2 in the past 18. Goalie Mike Smith was solid and made 32 saves, but Arizona still fell short.

Buffalo (21-47-8) has two wins in its past 14 games, both on the road. The Sabres haven't won since March 17, a 2-1 overtime victory against the Boston Bruins.

With Coyotes forward David Moss camped in the Sabres crease, Sam Gagner fed Murphy for a shot from the point. Moss lifted his skate and the puck went between his legs and deflected off a screened Lindback and into the net at 1:17. Murphy's fourth goal of the season was his first in 26 games.

Buffalo dominated the rest of the period, putting 12 shots on goal. But Smith saved them all, robbing center Cody Hodgson twice, once on a rebound of a Zach Bogosian shot and again with the pad while Hodgson was all alone in front of the crease with 1:35 left.

The second period belonged to the Sabres and Meszaros, who had three goals in the first 52 games of the season but is suddenly scoring in bunches; he scored twice in a 5-3 loss against the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday.

Buffalo used an early high-sticking penalty to Jordan Szwarz to even the game. With Mikhail Grigorenko battling Craig Cunningham in front of the Coyotes net, Meszaros put a shot through traffic and over Smith's shoulder at 4:27.

Smith made strong saves on Nicolas Deslauriers and Nikita Zadorov to keep the game even before Meszaros struck again at 13:36.

Deslauriers dug the puck out of the corner and slid it to Meszaros. With Zac Delpe screening in front, Meszaros put a low shot into the far corner for his second straight two-goal game to give Buffalo a 2-1 lead.
