Columbus at Arizona

Columbus continues a two-game road trip, coming off a brutal stretch of playing five straight games against teams that will likely be in the playoffs. Now they step way down in competition against struggling Arizona. The Coyotes are on a 22-50 run, including 19-40 in their last 59 home games. The Arizona Coyotes goalies have the second-worst goals-against average in the league, and the club will be forced to start a backup tonight. The Coyotes figure to turn to Anders Lindback but the team is 6-20 against the Metropolitan Division. They are also 17-35 when their opponent scores two goals or fewer in their previous game. Take Columbus.
