Phoenix Coyotes vs Anaheim Ducks
The Phoenix Coyotes go into this one with a 57% points percentage, and naturally as favorites over the Ducks. Dave Tippett will be sure to keep an eye on how their Pacific division foes collected 40 points in 39 games played this season but he will know that a lot of it will come down to containing Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry. The Phoenix goal differential is -0.14 this season (good for number 19 in the NHL), and better than the Anaheim Ducks’s negative goal margin of -0.41 in the 2010-2011 NHL season.
Playing on the road, the Ducks will need to play to their strengths and their 21 power play % is their strongest statistical attribute (and 8th best in the whole league in that area). Randy Carlyle’s team is 18-17 this season and today will hope to improve their 40 point total to climb further up in the standings.
Phoenix are number 3 in the league in the ‘faceoff win %’ departement and Randy Carlyle and his coaching staff will therefore certainly want to balance out Phoenix’s 52.6 faceoff win % this season. The Coyotes have a 73% winning percentage when leading after the first period, so getting off to a good start will be important.The fans in the Jobing.com Arena are in for a treat today and if you want to join them and watch Phoenix Coyotes vs Anaheim Ducks online live streaming on NHL ‘Center Ice’ or on your TV – then make sure to tune in at 21:00 ET today.
