The Arizona Coyotes and Colorado Avalanche meet Monday in NHL action at the Ball Arena.

The Arizona Coyotes look for a win after splitting their last 10 games. The Arizona Coyotes are averaging 2.5 goals per game and are scoring on 20.3 percent of their power play opportunities. Christian Dvorak leads Arizona with nine goals, Conor Garland has 14 assists and Jakob Chychrun has 61 shots on goal. Defensively, the Arizona Coyotes are allowing three goals per game and are killing 82.3 percent of their opponents power plays. Darcy Kuemper has given up 40 goals on 469 shots faced and Antti Raanta has given up 23 goals on 221 shots.

The Colorado Avalanche look for a win after splitting their last eight games. The Colorado Avalanche are averaging 3.1 goals per game and are scoring on 24.4 percent of their power play opportunities. Mikko Rantanen leads Colorado with 12 goals, Nathan MacKinnon has 17 assists and Nazem Kadri has 65 shots on goal. Defensively, the Colorado Avalanche are allowing 2.5 goals per game and are killing 86.2 percent of their opponents power plays. Philipp Grubauer has allowed 37 goals on 468 shots faced and Hunter Miska has allowed 14 goals on 104 shots.

The Coyotes are 7-19 in their last 26 road games and 9-4 in their last 13 Monday games. The Avalanche are 54-25 in their last 79 games playing on 1 days rest. The over is 6-2 in Coyotes last 8 overall. The under is 5-2 in Avalanche last 7 home games. The Coyotes are 0-6 in the last 6 meetings in Colorado and 0-4 in the last 4 meetings.

The Arizona Coyotes are just one of those teams I have a hard time backing with confidence, as right when I'm ready to believe in them, they go on a losing streak and let me down. The Colorado Avalanche have feasted against teams with losing records dating back to last season and they've won both meetings this season against the Coyotes, outscoring them 9-4 in those meetings. The Avalanche have won eight of the last 10 meetings against the Coyotes overall. Give me the Avs, and I'll take the PL for added betting value.
