Arizona won the first meeting this season 4-3 in overtime on Nov. 30 and the Avalanche will look to avenge that loss after winning four of their past six games, including 6-4 over Ottawa on Thursday when Nathan MacKinnon had four goals and an assist and Alexandar Georgiev stopped 41 of 45 shots for the Avalanche. Georgiev is 16-8-1 with a 3.01 GAA and his probable counterpart will be Karel Vejmelka, who is 5-7-2 for the Coyotes, who suddenly have won four in a row following a four-game losing streak. However, all four wins came against below .500 teams. The Coyotes are 2-12 the past 14 meetings at Colorado and it has lost 40 of 51 road games. Colorado has won 40 of its past 53 Saturday games and it has won 13 of 17 at home this season. Play the Avalanche.
