April 14, 2024
The Arizona Coyotes (35-40-5) travel to face the Calgary Flames (36-38-5), who are aiming to sweep this three-game season series on Sunday, April 14 at 8:00 PM ET at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, AB. The Flames are slight favorites with a moneyline at -140
Arizona Coyotes Betting Preview
The Coyotes have won four out of their last five games and are currently on a two-game win streak. Both of these wins were overtime thrillers, with their most recent win being a 3-2 outing over the Edmonton Oilers.
They have accumulated a road record of 14-21-5, which does not shape up great for their chances at success. Their offense is led primarily through Clayton Keller who has 73 points, 33 goals, and 40 assists. He will be key in their chances at success.
The Coyotes maintain an average of 3.05 goals per game while giving up 3.33 to opponents. They fire off an average of 27.7 shots and permit 31.7 in return, demonstrating their ability to stay competitive despite a deficit in scoring.
Their power play performance is somewhat lacking, with 51 goals scored and 62 allowed, resulting in a solid 21.6 percent success rate. Moreover, their penalty kill trails behind at 76.2 percent compared to the Flames.
Calgary Flames Betting Preview
The Flames are 2-3 in their last five games and have played their last three on the road, winning two out of three. Their most recent battle was a 6-3 victory against the Anaheim Ducks.
They showcase a 19-19-1 record at home, which is solid enough to show they can find confidence here. Their offense is led by Nazem Kadri with 71 points and 44 assists, while Yegor Sharangovich leads with 30 goals.
The Flames maintain an average of 3.05 goals per game scored, while conceding 3.25 goals. They muster 31.2 shots per game but face an opposing average of 29.8 shots, underscoring their challenges on both ends of the ice. This ratio skews slightly negative, mirroring the Coyotes' struggles.
Their power play efficiency this season has missed the mark a bit, as they have registered 44 goals scored and 45 allowed, equating to a 17.9 percent success rate. Moreover, their penalty kill stands at 81.1 percent and is slightly more appealing than the Coyotes.
