The Montreal Canadiens have been ice cold of late, dropping ten of their last fifteen, and took their four game losing skid into the desert to face Arizona.
The Coyotes are one of the worst teams in the league this year, but have won four of their last six.
The first contest between these two teams was early in the year when the Canadiens defeated the Coyotes 5-2 in a game which saw Shea Weber score his first goal with the Habs.
The Canadiens got off to an early start in this one, as Max Pacioretty scored the opening goal less than one minute after puck drop.
