Arizona has a winning road record anchored by a top-notch defense, #10 in goals allowed, second in penalty killing. The Coyotes are 10-4 against losing teams, as well as 7-3 playing on one day of rest. Forward Michael Grabner came back the last game and scored after missing three months, while center Derek Stepan returns tonight. They match up well with a last-place New Jersey squad that is #23 in goals scored, #20 on the power play, and a defense ranked #29 in goals allowed. New Jersey has lost three in a row while getting outscored 12-2. Making matters worse, leading scorer Kyle Palmieri has an injury and missed the last game. Play Arizona.
