BLUE JACKETS Langkow's late goal lifts Coyotes

Phoenix scored two goals in the final 3:18.
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Paul Mara and Daymond Langkow scored in the final 3:18 Friday night, lifting the Phoenix Coyotes to a 3-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Langkow got the winner with 19 seconds remaining, turning a rebound of his own shot to his forehand and wristing the puck just under the crossbar.
The goal, coupled with a 3-2 win over Dallas in their last home game, gave the Coyotes their first winning streak in the new Glendale Arena.
Jeff Taffe had a goal and an assist, and rookie Jean-Marc Pelletier earned his initial NHL victory by making 26 saves.
Pelletier, recalled on Feb. 10, had one start with Philadelphia in 1998-99. He had two starts with the Coyotes last season after they acquired him and a draft pick from Carolina in December 2001.
Early lead
The Blue Jackets, who had a 2-0 lead after goals by Trevor Letowski and Jaroslav Spacek, started an even more inexperienced goalie.
Pascal Leclaire made 28 saves in his NHL debut, but was victimized by the Coyotes' late pressure.
Phoenix failed to get a shot off in three previous power plays in the third period, but capitalized when Scott Lachance was penalized for hooking with 4:38 to go.
Mara, low in the left circle, angled a rebound of Mike Comrie's shot behind Leclaire 1:20 later.
Back at even strength, the Coyotes stormed the Columbus end, and Langkow got the puck on a pass from Taffe from behind the net. His first shot bounced off Leclaire, but the second went in to extend the Blue Jackets' winless streak on the road to nine games (0-6-3).
Pelletier had nine saves in the first period, three during two Blue Jackets power plays that included 1:01 of five-on-three. He made one highlight-reel stop when he blocked a shot by Todd Marchant on a breakaway and then gloved the puck in the air.
Seconds after that Leclaire turned away shots by Jan Hrdina and Langkow.
Taking control
The Blue Jackets stepped up the pace in the second period, scoring twice on 16 shots.
Letowski got the first goal after Phoenix defenseman Radoslav Suchy stopped his shot with a skate, but kicked the puck back to Letowski. He put a wrist shot past Pelletier.
Columbus made it 2-0 on Spacek's slap shot five seconds after the Coyotes killed another five-on-three power play.
Phoenix responded when Taffe batted an airborne puck in off Leclaire's right arm.
