One team has the most points in the Central Division and Western Conference. The other is struggling just to stay out of their division’s basement. It would be logical to think the team who is leading their division could easily defeat the other. But, in the case of the Nashville Predators versus the Arizona Coyotes, you would be wrong.
Arizona ended a four-game losing streak by defeating the Minnesota Wild, who sit third in the Central a mere five points behind Nashville. Their last win before the losing streak? Oh, that came back in Arizona when the Predators visited.
