The Arizona Coyotes and Vegas Golden Knights meet Wednesday in NHL action at the T-Mobile Arena.
The Arizona Coyotes could use a win to rebound from a 1-1-1 start to the season. The Arizona Coyotes are averaging four goals per game and are scoring on 28.6 percent of their power play opportunities. Phil Kessel leads Arizona with three goals, Oliver Ekman-Larsson has three assists and Conor Garland has 13 shots on goal. Defensively, the Arizona Coyotes are allowing three goals per game and are killing 62.5 percent of their opponents power plays. Darcy Kuemper has given up six goals on 62 shots faced and Antti Raanta has given up three goals on 34 shots.
The Vegas Golden Knights look to stay hot while building on their 3-0 start. The Vegas Golden Knights are averaging 3.5 goals per game and are scoring on zero percent of their power play opportunities. Max Pacioretty leads Vegas with three goals, Mark Stone has four assists and Shea Theodore has 12 shots on goal. Defensively, the Vegas Golden Knights are allowing 1.5 goals per game and are killing 100 percent of their opponents power plays. Robin Lehner has given up four goals on 54 shots faced and Marc-Andre Fleury has given up one goal on 22 shots.
The Coyotes are 7-20 in their last 27 road games and 1-4 in their last 5 overall. The Golden Knights are 25-10 in their last 35 home games and 26-10 in their last 36 overall. The over is 6-0 in Coyotes last 6 overall. The under is 8-2-1 in Golden Knights last 11 overall. The Coyotes are 4-9 in the last 13 meetings. The home team is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.
The Arizona Coyotes have a history of coming up short against quality completion and they've been brutal on the road dating back to last season. The Vegas Golden Knights are probably the hottest team in the league through the first week or so, and they've outscored the Coyotes 10-4 in the last three meetings. There's no option for me here other than to lay the PL with the Golden Knights on their home ice.
