Arizona is off to a strong start, ranked #11 in goals scored, and third in goals allowed. The youth movement in the desert has paid immediate dividends, highlighted by Max Domi collecting a goal and an assist in his NHL debut as Arizona skated to a 4-1 victory over Los Angeles on Friday. The Coyotes are 5-1 on the road against a team with a home winning percentage of less than .400. The Coyotes have killed all eight penalties through the first two games and held a 39-28 shots advantage in Saturday's 2-1 victory over the Penguins, riding hot goaltender Mike Smith to a solid early showing. Phoenix has had five players score its six goals. Touted prospect Jordan Martinook recorded his first goal Saturday. While things are looking up for the young Coyotes, the Anaheim Ducks are winless. The Ducks have managed only a goal from defenseman Sami Vatanen through two games, failing to record 30 shots either time. Anaheim is on an 0-4 run overall, so jump on the confident young visitors. Play Arizona. Also take the UNDER. The Coyotes have held opponents to just one goal per game thus far while Anaheim has allowed just two goals per game. Since last season, the Duckas are 23-9 UNDER at home to a total set at 5.5. And, under head man Dave Tippett, Arizona is 89-57 UNDER on the road when the total is set at 5.5. Back the underdog and the UNDER here.
