Last-place Arizona doesn't do much right on offense, #29 in goals scored and #25 on the power play. The Coyotes are on a 21-46 run, off a 3-0 home loss to Anaheim. The team is on a 12-41 run on the road, including 13-38 away against a team with a winning home record. The lack of offense is why Arizona is on a 37-17-5 run UNDER the total, including 18-6-4 UNDER versus the Western Conference. Edmonton has good balance, #10 in goals scored, #11 on the power play, and #14 in goals allowed. They've won two in a row and four of six playing some defense as several key offensive players are in slumps. Right winger Jordan Eberle hasn't scored since December 6, Milan Lucic has no goals and just three assists in his last ten games, while Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has one goal in his last eight games. Edmonton is on a 10-3-3 run UNDER the total, as well as 34-15-3 UNDER at home, so back the home team in a defensive duel. Play Edmonton and UNDER the total.
