On Saturday, the Detroit Red Wings head to Glendale, Arizona’s Gila River Arena to take on the Arizona Coyotes. The last time these two teams met, it was a 6-1 blowout in favor of the Red Wings. They’ll look to repeat that outcome, this time on the road.
Detroit Red Wings
Without a doubt, this has been a disappointing season for the Red Wings. Currently 7th in the Atlantic Division with 55 points, essentially nothing has gone right for Jeff Blashill’s club this year. The team sits 26th in the NHL in goals and 29th in goals against — not exactly the recipe for success.

Center Dylan Larkin has been the bright spot for Detroit. The 22-year-old leads the team with 61 points (26 goals, 35 assists) and generally carries the team’s otherwise mediocre offense. He’s had some scoring help from Andreas Athanasiou, who has 22 goals in 58 games.
From a goaltending standpoint, starter Jimmy Howard hasn’t had his best year, tallying a .907 save percentage and a 2.98 goals against average. If Detroit is going to take a second game from Arizona, Howard and the Red Wings defense will have to step up and perform better than average.
Arizona Coyotes
Sitting 4th in the Pacific Division, the Arizona Coyotes have had a better than expected year. Rick Tocchet’s club is right in the playoff mix with 67 points, thanks in big part to the solid team defense. Allowing just 182 goals in 64 games, the Coyotes have the 8th-ranked defense in the NHL.

The offense is another story, however, as the team still has a negative goal differential. With just 173 goals on the season, scoring hasn’t come easy. However, the team showed signs of improvement in a 5-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday night.
Still, Arizona doesn’t have a single 20-goal scorer, and the brunt of the offense has been generated by center Clayton Keller (12 goals, 29 assists).
NHL Betting Trends:
- The UNDER is 5-3 in Arizona’s last 8 games
- The UNDER is 4-2 in Arizona’s last 6 games at home
- Arizona is 5-0 SU in last 5 games
- Detroit is 0-6 SU in last 5 games
Free Detroit Red Wings vs. Arizona Coyotes NHL Prediction:
Defense definitely gives Arizona the advantage, especially on home ice. While this likely won’t be a high scoring affair, I like Keller and the Coyotes to win against the struggling Red Wings.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: Arizona ML
With two bad offenses taking the ice, I certainly wouldn’t feel comfortable taking the spread or the over here. I’ll stick with a safe bet and jump on the Arizona moneyline.
