Arizona at Columbus

Arizona opens the season on the road where they've lost seven of 10. The Coyotes were #22 in goals scored and goals allowed last year. Arizona is 19-39 as a road underdog and faces a Columbus squad that wants to get off on the right foot under new coach Brad Larsen. Columbus locked up 24-year old star defenseman Zach Werenski during the summer to a six-year deal. The Blue Jackets have won eight of the last 10 meetings against Arizona, including an 8-3 run at home, so back home ice. Play Columbus.
