Blackhawks at Coyotes 3/26/19 - NHL Picks & Predictions

The Chicago Blackhawks can have an impact on the Western Conference in this game. The impact will vary, but it could come from the fact that a simple win by the Blackhawks, who are facing the Coyotes in the game, could put the Coyotes even further out of the playoff battle on the season. The Coyotes are trailing the final Wild Card spot by only a couple of points so a must win would definitely be in order for the Coyotes here. On the year the Blackhawks have been able to score a total of 3.28 goals a game. The defense, though, is horrible for the Blackhawks as they have given up 3.60 goals a game. The Blackhawks have finally converted on the power play at a clip of 20.7%, but have been dismal at killing off the opponents power plays as they have killed off only 73.3%.

Arizona is heading into this game with an offense that is very weak with only 2.57 goals a game being scored. The Coyotes defense has given up 2.76 goals a game on the season. The Coyotes have ended up getting a power play conversion at 16.7% on the year, but the Coyotes have killed off 85.5% of the opponents power plays on the season so far.
