The Arizona Coyotes (33-40-5) aim to land their first win against the Vancouver Canucks (48-22-8) as they battle for the third time this season on Wednesday, April 10 at 10:30 PM ET at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC. The Canucks are favored for success, with a puck line at -1.5 (+100).

The Coyotes are coming into this game after a recent loss that snapped their two-game win streak. This was a 5-0 shutout against the Seattle Kraken, which was interesting to see no goals on the board after dropping 12 total over their last two games combined.

They have not played well on the road, with a 12-21-5 record. They are stuck at seventh in the Central Division and have no shot at the playoffs this season. Clayton Keller leads them with 73 points, 33 goals, and 40 assists.

The Coyotes’ offense is solid. They average 3.04 goals and take 27.8 shots a game. Their power plays have been decent, with 51 goals scored and 61 allowed, and their power play percentage is 22.3.

They have issues defensively, as they currently allow 3.35 goals and 31.7 shots a game from opponents. This is a slightly negative ratio compared to their offense and shows how much they have struggled this season.

The Canucks are 3-2 over their last five games and need another win to continue pushing into the postseason. Their latest battle was a 4-3 victory over the Las Vegas Golden Knights to put them back on the winning track.

They have performed well this season at home, boasting a 26-9-4 record. Brock Boeser leads with 40 goals, while J.T. Miller sports 100 points. Both will be vital to their success on offense.

The Canucks typically hover around 3.42 goals and 28.5 shots a game. Their performances in power plays have been acceptable, as they have scored 56 goals, allowed 53, and have a power play percentage sitting at 22.8, which is on par with the Coyotes.

On defense, they have been solid in keeping their opponents to 2.71 goals and 28.5 shots a game. This is a decent differential between the offense and defense. Their penalty kill percentage is slightly higher at 78.0.
