San Jose at Arizona

San Jose is not a good road team and it's a tough spot, playing their third game in four nights and the second of a back-to-back spot. They stumbled in a 3-1 loss at last place Anaheim, losing their Pacific Division lead. I didn't help that Sharks defenseman Douglas Murray was injured during the first period. In fact, the roller coaster Sharks plummeted from third in the West standings all the way back to eighth. Now they have to play another road game the very next night. The Sharks are 5-13 in their last 18 against the Western Conference and 8-21 in their last 29 road games. Phoenix has home ice, is well rested and needs to win to have any shot at the playoffs. The Coyotes are 46-20 in their last 66 games as a favorite of -110 to -150. In addition, the home team is 6-1 in the last seven meetings between these clubs. Play Phoenix.
