Arizona is improved this season because of defense, ranking third in the NHL in goals allowed, and tops in killing penalties. The Coyotes end a four-game road trip ranked #24 in goals scored on offense, and #19 on the power play. The Coyotes come off an impressive 4-1 victory at reigning Stanley Cup champion Washington on Sunday. Arizona is on a 7-2 run UNDER the total on the road, as well as 7-3 UNDER against losing teams. They head to a surging Detroit Red Wings squad that has won six of seven, doing it with defense. The offense is ranked just #28 in goals scored. Detroit is on a 15-7-1 run UNDER the total at home, including 15-7-1 at home against a team with a losing road record, so don't look for an offensive show. This one stays UNDER.
