An explosive third period pushed the Coyotes past the Predators in Game 3, giving Arizona a 2-1 series lead.

Conor Garland picked a good time to record his first career postseason goal.

With the Coyotes and Predators knotted at one in Game 3 on Wednesday, Garland took a Derek Stepan cross-ice pass and proceeded to toe drag around Matias Ekholm for the eventual winner.

Taylor Hall would add a power play goal and Carl Soderberg an empty-netter to give Arizona a 4-1 win. Darcy Kuemper rebounded from a tough Game 2 to stop 39 out of 40 shots he faced.

John Hynes is not going to enjoy watching the tape on this defensive zone breakdown:
