Arizona Coyotes vs Anaheim Ducks Betting Analysis
Improved Coyotes Getting Contributions Throughout the Lineup
Surprisingly, the Coyotes rank T10th in goals per game at 3.38. They’ve been making the most of their chances as they’re 26th in the league in shots per game (28.4) and seventh in shooting percentage (11.9). That last figure may regress, but the decent start is a good sign nonetheless for the Arizona Coyotes standings as they have a chance to get over .500 tonight against the Ducks.
Seven players have at least six points for the Coyotes. Clayton Keller and Nick Schmaltz lead the team in NHL player stats with eight points. Rookie Logan Cooley has also gotten off to a nice start with six points, all assists, in his first eight career NHL games.
Ducks on a Four-Game Winning Streak
Anaheim lost four of its first five games to begin the season, scoring just five goals in those four losses. However, they’ve been red-hot since, outscoring the opposition 18-12 in their last four victories. Mason McTavish has been a real bright spot for the Ducks as he’s tied for the team lead in scoring with Ryan Strome at 11 points.
Frank Vatrano has been another pleasant surprise for Anaheim. He has a team-leading nine goals, which is tied for the NHL lead with Alex DeBrincat.
Updates
Jason Zucker and Travis Dermott are on the NHL injury report for Arizona. Dermott missed Monday’s game with an illness and could miss Wednesday’s Coyotes vs. Ducks betting analysis. Anaheim is among the most unfortunate NHL teams in regard to injuries as they’re missing Jamie Drysdale, Isac Lundestrom, Brock McGinn, and Alex Killorn. Goaltender John Gibson is also day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
