GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Sluggish in the first period, Phoenix scored its first two goals on fortunate bounces in the second. Once the Coyotes got rolling, there was no stopping them, particularly the way Thomas Greiss was turning away shots. Greiss stopped 27 shots, Lauri Korpikoski had a goal and two assists, and the Coyotes rolled to a 6-0 victory over the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night. "The first period was so-so, I guess, but I really thought we started to play well in the second," said Mikkel Boedker, one of seven Phoenix players with multiple points. "We got a couple of lucky bounces, but sometimes thats what you need to get going." Phoenix needed a spark after consecutive disappointing home losses to Columbus and Philadelphia. After a tight-checking first period, the Coyotes took control in the second period, scoring two of their three goals on fortuitous bounces. Phoenix raced away from the Flames after that to win in regulation for the first time since beating the Islanders 6-3 on Dec. 12. Boedker, Shane Doan, Martin Hanzal and Michael Stone each had a goal and an assist for Phoenix. Rob Klinkhammer also scored, and Mike Ribeiro and Radim Vrbata each had two assists. Greiss capped off Phoenixs big night with some tough saves for his second career shutout. "It was kind of a strange game, kind of mucky there in the first period," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. "We were able to get a little puck luck there in the second and kind of pushed the game along." Calgary arrived in the desert late after playing Colorado the night before. The Flames were able to muck it up to keep up with Phoenix in the first period, but had no answer when the Coyotes got rolling. Reto Berra allowed at least five goals for the third time this season, and the Flames were shut out for the fourth time in six games. Calgary has lost nine of 11. "Were part of a process where excuses will not be a part of it," Flames coach Bob Hartley said. "They were better than us. We kind of fell apart after those two goals." The Coyotes had Greiss between the pipes after coach Dave Tippett decided to give starter Mike Smith the night off. Smith had been anxiously awaiting word on whether he would make the Canadian Olympic team. Tippett wanted his goalie to rest after such an emotional day, even after he made the team. Though he wont supplant Smith as the starter -- Phoenix signed Smith to a six-year, $24 million contract last summer -- Greiss has, in some ways, been more consistent this season. In his first season with the Coyotes, Greiss entered Tuesdays game 5-2-1 with a 2.12 goals-against average. He earned the victory on Dec. 31 against Edmonton by stopping 15 shots after Smith was pulled in the second period. Greiss was solid early. He had the highlight of the defensive-dominated opening period, making a spectacular glove save when Dennis Wideman was left open in front on a power play. Greiss turned away a couple of tough shots on a power play in the second period, including a glove save on Mike Cammalleri, and stopped 13 shots in the third period. "Hes just really solid in there," Tippett said. "He doesnt do anything really flashy, just gets in front of the puck and I guess thats what hes supposed to." While Greiss kept the Coyotes in it early, two fortunate bounces put them up 2-0 quickly in the second. Doan was the recipient of the first, when Boedker sent a pass from behind the net that bounced off Berras shoulder, hit the Coyotes captains shoulder, and went in. The Coyotes scored again 1:36 later when a shot by Korpikoski ricocheted sideways off Vrbatas skate right to Hanzal, who one-timed a shot before Berra could slide over. Boedker made it 3-0 later in the period, one-timing a pass from Ribeiro for his 13th goal and career-high 29th point of the season. Korpikoski punched in his own rebound in the third period and set up Stones goal with a nice drop pass. "We played a team thats had the success theyve had because they stay patient and stick with it, and we saw the snowball effect of it," Cammalleri said. "They did it the right way and we did it the wrong way."

Arizonas complete domination of Boston College was even more impressive. Carey rushed for 169 yards and two touchdowns, B.J. Denker threw for 275 touchdowns and two touchdowns and the Wildcats had an easy time in a 42-19 victory over the Eagles in the Advocare V100 Bowl on Tuesday. It was another impressive performance for Carey in what might be his final college game. The 5-foot-10, 207-pound junior topped 100 yards rushing for a 16th straight game. Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez had plenty of praise for Carey before sneaking in a plug to campaign for a senior season. "Hes the hardest runner in the country and I think hes the best running back in the country," Rodriguez said before breaking into a grin. "And hes still got some things to learn. So another year and hed be just right." The game was billed as a matchup between two of the nations top running backs -- Arizonas Carey and Boston Colleges Andre Williams. But the duel between AP All-America first team selections was one-sided. Williams, who won the Doak Walker Award over Carey, was held to 75 yards rushing and a touchdown. Boston College (7-6) didnt score a touchdown until Williams 4-yard run early in the fourth quarter. "The biggest key for us defensively was tackling (Williams) before he had the chance to get going," Rodriguez said. "We wanted to tackle him early and be physical." Carey had plenty of help. Arizona (8-5) had 529 total yards and scored 35 straight points to turn a tight 7-6 game in the second quarter into a 42-6 blowout by early in the fourth. Denker completed 17 of 24 passes while Nate Phillips caught nine passes for 193 yards. Redshirt freshman Trey Griffey -- the son of former baseball star Ken Griffey Jr. -- caught two touchdown passes, including a 26-yarder just before halftime that gave the Wildcats a 21-6 lead. Arizonas six touchdowns tied an Advocare V100 Bowl record. Rodriguez said the offence -- and particularly Denker-- played at a high level for most of the day "I kknow when a quarterback gets it like B.ddddddddddddJ," Rodriguez said. "Hes seeing everything -- good and bad. He was really sharp mentally and obviously, he showed his athletic ability on some of those runs." Boston Colleges remarkable turnaround season came to a disappointing conclusion. First-year coach Steve Addazio took a team that finished with a 2-10 record in 2012 back to the post-season, but the Eagles couldnt do much of anything right Tuesday. "I thought Arizona did an unbelievable great job of taking advantage of opportunities to gain momentum," Addazio said. "And then they really put the pedal down." Williams, who came into the game with 2,102 rushing yards, looked ordinary against Arizonas active defensive line. The senior never had much of a chance, usually meeting a pile of defenders right at the line of scrimmage. "We had to execute at a high level and we failed to do that at certain points." Williams said. The Eagles secondary struggled to contain Arizonas receivers, who repeatedly found space in the defence. Boston Colleges Alex Amidon caught 10 passes for 129 yards and Nate Freese made field goals from 32 and 41 yards to cap a 20-for-20 season. Both teams took to the air early. Denker completed 8 of 12 passes for 145 yards in the first half. Griffeys two touchdowns were the first of his career. Boston College looked much less comfortable throwing. Chase Rettig tossed two first-half interceptions, including one that William Parks returned 69 yards for a touchdown. "As I was running I heard the crowd getting real loud," Parks said. "So I said Oh man, I must have done something really good." Denker was selected games Most Valuable Player on offence, and Parks took defensive honours. Carey had 116 of his 169 yards rushing in the second half. The Wildcats pushed ahead 28-6 early in the third quarter after a long drive ended with Careys second touchdown -- a 5-yard run up the middle. "(Denker) started making unbelievable plays downfield and with his feet, and then everything came open for me," Carey said. ' ' '
