Arizona at Minnesota

Statistically speaking Minnesota is the better team here but I like the way Phoenix is playing. The Coyotes are on a three game road trip and they have looked solid. The Coyotes have won 2 out of their last 3 including an impressive win over Detroit on Saturday (4-1). Sunday they played in Chicago and lost in overtime. Let down game for sure. The players were visibly pumped after beating Detroit and weren't up for the challenge in Chicago. Minnesota won it's last two games thanks to stellar penalty killing. Minnesota's penalty killing ranks first in the NHL and has allowed just eight power-play goals this season. In their last two games against San Jose and Anaheim, the Wild faced 17 short-handed situations but gave up only one goal! Watch out though as the Coyotes scored all four of their goals against Detroit on the power play. Minnesota will give up a couple on the power play tonight and Phoenix will win. One star on Phoenix.
