For the second game in a row, the Phoenix Coyotes were stopped by a hot goalie.

After Edmonton's Mikhail Shtalenkov stopped 45 shots Wednesday to snap the Coyotes' unbeaten streak at 13-0-1, Vancouver's Garth Snow had 43 saves Sunday night as the Canucks tied Phoenix 3-3."The more I see Snow, the more I'm expecting that kind of goaltending from him," Coyotes coach Jim Schoenfeld said. "He's having a good season."

Snow stopped 20 shots in the first period as Vancouver (10-13-3) extended its unbeaten streak to 1-0-2.

"I like a lot of shots," said Snow, who had 36 saves in a 4-1 win over Dallas on Friday night.

"The first 10 minutes I didn't see any action, and then they started coming. But I'd rather get shots. It's fun when you're keeping the puck out of the net."

Jeremy Roenick scored twice for the Coyotes (15-3-3), who blew a third-period lead for only the second time this season, with both games ending in ties.

The Canucks, who had only 24 shots, have been out-shot 83-42 in their last two games.

"If it wasn't for Snow, we wouldn't have come up with a point," Vancouver coach Mike Keenan said.

Phoenix had a 22-10 shooting edge.

"We know what we have to work on is bearing down and maybe doing more scoring drills in practice" the Coyotes' Keith Tkachuk said.
