Minnesota at Arizona

The Minnesota Wild are playing their poorest hockey of the season, having dropped seven of their last eight games including five in a row. They have been nearly doubled-up in their last three games on the road getting outscored 4-7 in the three games. The seven losses show them getting outscored 32-14. In contrast, the Coyotes have played their best hockey over their last dozen games coming into tonight's game at 9-3 in their last 12. The Wild have been tamed on the road as a dog, as they are just 18-38 in their last 56 posted as a road dog. The Coyotes enter this one having gone 27-11 in their last 38 as a favorite as well as 20-6 off of three days rest. I like Phoenix here.
