The Arizona Coyotes (23-31-5) have a compelling rematch coming up against the Ottawa Senators (25-29-3) on Friday, March 1 at 7:00 PM ET at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, ON. The Senators are favorites for victory with a moneyline currently at -175.

The Coyotes are currently on a 14-game losing streak and were unable to win a single game for the month of February. Their latest defeat was a 4-2 showing against the Toronto Maple Leafs, in which they were without their offensive leader Clayton Keller (52 points, 22 goals, 30 assists).

They will also be without Keller in this game, as he is still injured. So far, they are 8-17-5 on the road and their current losing skid does not bode well for their chances at success.

The Coyotes tend to net an average of 2.86 goals per game from 27.0 shots. Their power play performance could use improvement, having scored 39 goals and conceded 42, resulting in a power play percentage of 21.7. Failure to capitalize on these opportunities could lead to setbacks.

On the defensive end, adversaries typically score about 3.31 goals and make 31.9 shot attempts per game, resulting in a somewhat favorable margin compared to their offensive statistics. Surprisingly, their penalty kill percentage stands at 78.0, outperforming that of the Coyotes.

The Senators are on a losing skid as well, but only their last two. They are 2-3 in their last five games overall, with a recent 4-1 defeat against the Nashville Predators. In their last five games, their only two wins came when they were able to score four goals.

Despite having a record below .500 overall, they are actually decent at home. Their record currently stands at 17-13-2, with victories in their last two performances here.

The Senators average 3.30 goals per game, taking 32.3 shots per match in the process. In power plays, they have netted 33 goals and have given up 45, yielding a 16.6 power play percentage that comes in slightly lower than that of the Coyotes.

Defensively, they are not as strong as they need to be with 3.56 goals allowed from opposing teams who take 29.9 shots per game, resulting in a slight negative goal differential compared to their offense. In addition, their penalty kill percentage sits at 73.7 and comes in slightly lower compared to the Coyotes’.

The NHL odds have been provided by MyBookie, with the Ottawa Senators as favorites at home. In their first matchup against the Coyotes back in December of last year, they fell short 4-3 on the road. The Senators thrive at home while the Coyotes are scrambling for a win, so expect the Senators to come out strong.
