The Anaheim Ducks and the Arizona Coyotes meet in NHL action from the Gila River Arena on Wednesday night.
The Anaheim Ducks will look to bounce back from a 4-3 loss to the Coyotes last time out. Max Comtois leads the Ducks in scoring with 11 points with 7 goals and 4 assists while Jakob Silfverberg has 8 points with 4 goals and 4 assists. Ryan Getzlaf, Cam Fowler and Rickard Rakell each have 7 points with Fowler logging 2 goals and 5 assists while Getzlaf and Rakell each have a goals and 6 assists. Carter Rowney, Danton Heinen and Hampus Lindholm each have 6 points as well on the year. John Gibson has 5 wins in 16 games played with 3 shutouts and a 2.67 GAA on the year.
The Arizona Coyotes will look to keep the puck rolling after their win over the Ducks last time out. Conor Garland leads the Coyotes in scoring with 16 points coming on 7 goals and a team-high 9 assists while Christian Dvorak has 15 points with a team-high 9 goals with 6 assists. Nick Schmaltz has 14 points with 6 goals and 8 assists while Clayton Keller and Jakob Chychrun have 13 points apiece with Keller logging 5 goals with 8 assists and Chychrun’s logging 4 goals with 9 assists. Phil Kessel’s split his 12 points with 6 goals and 6 assists on the year. Darcy Kuemper’s started the bulk of Arizona’s games this year, going with 15 starts and 6 wins with a shutout and a 2.33 GAA on the year.
Anaheim is 0-4 in their last 4 games overall and 10-21 in their last 31 games against a team with a losing record while the under is 11-4-1 in their last 16 games as an underdog. Arizona is 1-4 in their last 5 games overall and 1-4 in their last 5 home games while the over is 6-2-1 in their last 9 games as a favorite. Anaheim is 1-5 in the last 6 meetings between these two teams in Arizona.
I’m not trying to get behind either of these two teams right now as the Coyotes are just overpriced because of the matchup and the Ducks inefficiency in terms of scoring, but the Ducks also couldn’t find the back of the net if the other team was blindfolded. Give me the under here as I’d be surprised to see 4 goals in this one.
