Result:
WIN

Anaheim blows out the Coyotes when they play in California. But here in Phoenix, the home team keeps it closer. Phoenix is a .500 team at home where they score 3.1 goals per game and allowe a lot less than they do on the road. The Coyotes ahve lost five of six games and home teams on that kind of negative run usually play very well. Phoenix is 5-0 at home this season after two consecutive losses and over the past two seasons, they are actually 8-3 vs. top-level teams (60%+ record) here at home in the first half of the season. It's hard to make a case for Phoenix winning this but Gretzky will have his guys ready to lay it all out there and we like them to at least keep it close.
