Key facts

• Christian Fischer, Jakob Chychrun, Lawson Crouse and Clayton Keller will not play for the Coyotes tonight
• MacKenzie Entwistle will not suit up for Chicago tonight
• Arizona has won 7 of the last 10 games against Chicago
• Six of the last ten games between these two have ended over 5.5 goals

Both teams have disappointing seasons as they are among the three worst teams in the Western Conference. With that record they are already thinking about the next season and are using the last couple of games to give playing time to the younger players and those who didn’t play much during the season. Arizona has won 2 and Chicago only 1 game of their last 10 which says enough about how bad these teams are. Their records and recent form are a good sign that they will have a high scoring night against each other. Arizona allows 3.8 goals per game while Chicago 3.6. Therefore, the best deal on this game is placing a bet on over 5.5 goals.
