Arizona is one team that has been relying on a stronger defense to help them in winning the games.

Look for the Avalanche to rely on their defense to help them in getting the win in the game as the Coyotes defense plays good, but the lack of production form the Arizona offense cost them the game. Final Score Prediction, Colorado Avalanche win 5-2.
