Arizona at Dallas

We've been nailing our big underdog plays at a very high rate this month so we'll take another stab here. Phoenix appears to have no shot here but note that they have won half of the games played against Dallas here over the past three seasons. They beat the Stars 5-2 in January and in December lost by only one goal to the Stars. Their problem is defense and Dallas is not a very high-scoring team. So, they Coyotes always have a shot in what is usually a very low-scoring affair. Phoenix has only won one game in their last seven but they are 11-6 the past two seasons on the road following a stretch in which they lost four of their last five games. They are also 11-6 over that span following a game in which they allowed 6+ goals. As we mentioned, Phoenix won the last time these teams met and the Stars are suprisingly 0-4 the past two seasons at home revenging a home blowout loss. Gretzky will have his team as ready as they can be and we look for Phoenix to have a decent shot at surprising Dallas again here.
