Kessel notched two assists and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
Kessel set up both of Jan Jenik's tallies in the contest, with the latter being the game-winner. The 34-year-old Kessel has distributed three helpers in his last two games. The winger has 42 points, 137 shots on net and a minus-14 rating through 67 appearances. The Coyotes have a significant number of forwards out due to injury, so Kessel may be asked to log more ice time in the final month of the campaign -- he entered Wednesday averaging 16:44 per game.
