Arizona vs Canucks
The Canucks are definitely missing their No. 1 goalie Jacob Markstrom, who is out for the next two weeks following a minor procedure on an injured knee. Since his lay-off, Vancouver has failed to post a single regulation victory, notching a 4-3 overtime win at the Montreal Canadiens before losing three straight road contests subsequently. The team switches back to own ice for the next four contests, but will not be too ecstatic to host the Coyotes, who are just two points behind the ‘Nucks in the Pacific Division, currently tied with the Nashville Predators and the Winnipeg Jets for the 2nd Wild Card of the West. Vancouver will be eager to gather points by any means necessary to regain the 3rd place of the Pacific Division from the Calgary Flames, who are one point ahead, but with two extra games already played. Still, do consider banking on the visitors here! Arizona has been horrid on the road lately, losing on 10 of its previous 11 travels, but has already beaten the Canucks on six of the last eight occasions. Besides, the combined historical total of both current Vancouver goalies against the Coyotes is a terrible 0-3-0 with a 5.04 GAA and a .818 save percentage.
