Coyotes win in Gretzky’s return to MSG

Wayne Gretzky spoke in a hoarse voice through a wide smile and even mustered a few laughs. The flu and laryngitis notwithstanding, the Hall of Famer’s return to Madison Square Garden could not have been better. Illness, not anger, robbed Coach Gretzky of his voice. He didn’t have to yell at his team Sunday night as the Phoenix Coyotes rolled to a 5-1 rout of the New York Rangers.
