Arizona Coyotes forward Tobias Rieder was a 2011 fourth-round pick by the Edmonton Oilers. He never played for them and was dealt south in 2013. He showed his former club what they were missing with a marvelous shift during a second period penalty kill Monday night.*
Down 1-0, the 22-year old rookie single-handedly turned the game by scoring not once...:

...but twice in 58 seconds while shorthanded:

As Fox Sports Arizona's Craig Morgan pointed out, those were Arizona’s first shorthanded goals of the season. And according to the Coyotes, Rieder is the first rookie and second player in franchise history to record two shortie's in a single game.

To pile on, Oliver Ekman-Larsson would light the lamp just over three minutes later to extend the lead to 3-1 and Phoenix would go to win 5-2, furthering Edmonton's season of misery. The Oilers have lost 10 straight games (0-7-3) and 14 of their past 16 (2-11-3) -- and remain winless in 15 games versus the Western Conference this season (0-12-3).
