The Arizona Coyotes will play the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday night at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.

The Arizona Coyotes are 13-19-5 this season after they lost to the Philadelphia Flyers by a score of 6-2 in their last game. Arizona was out shot by a total of 34-23 and went 0-1 on the power play in the loss. The Arizona Coyotes are averaging 2.86 goals per game, 3.70 goals against per game, 20.8% on the power play, and 72% on the penalty kill. Clayton Keller has led the Coyotes this season with 14 goals, 22 assists, and 81 shots on goal this season. The projected starting goalie for Arizona is Connor Ingram, who is 2-7-1 this season with a 4.24 goals against average and a .878 save percentage.

The Chicago Blackhawks are 8-25-4 this season after they lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning by a score of 4-1 in their last game. Chicago was out shot by a total of 29-26 and went 1-5 on the power play in the game. The Chicago Blackhawks are averaging 2.16 goals per game, 3.76 goals against per game, 20.2% on the power play, and 73.3% on the penalty kill. Patrick Kane (questionable) has led the Blackhawks with seven goals, 20 assists, and 133 shots on goal this season. The projected starting goalie for Chicago is Petr Mrazek, who is 2-10-1 this season with a 4.19 goals against average and a .878 save percentage.

Arizona is 18-40 in their last 58 games and 6-14 in their last 20 Friday games. The over is 4-0 in Arizona’s last 4 games. Chicago is 12-42 in their last 54 games and 10-43 in their last 53 games against the Central. The under is 4-1 in Chicago’s last 5 games. The favorite is 14-6 in these two teams last 20 head to head meetings.

Chicago comes into this game on a five game losing streak and has only won one time in their last 14 games, while Arizona has lost two games in a row and will be on the road. It is tough to be any worse than Chicago is right now, but I like them in this game. Arizona is on the second game of a back to back and has allowed 10 goals in their last two games. I think Chicago snaps their losing streak here.
