Arizona Coyotes embark upon critical stretch of games with “at or below .500” Division teams, beginning with a two-game set against the Anaheim Ducks.
The Arizona Coyotes hope to rebound from their poor performance against the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday night by beating the eighth place Anaheim Ducks (11-20-6 28 pts) on Friday and Sunday nights. The Ducks are 3-7-0 in their last ten games, while the Coyotes are 4-5-1.
Both teams currently have significant goalkeeping challenges, with Ryan Miller getting most of the work due to an injury to John Gibson for the Ducks, and Adin Hill having to carry the load while both Darcy Kuemper and Antti Raanta are shelved because of injuries.
