Coyotes at Oilers 2/19/19 - NHL Picks & Predictions

The Coyotes are a team that has not been good recently, but even with the struggles they are only 11 points out of 3rd place in the Pacific. What else has happened to Arizona is the fact the team has had a lot of injuries on the year and the offense does not really have the star power that so many of the other teams have on the year.

With the Coyotes the team has been able to score at a clip of 2.59 goals a game. The defense for the Coyotes is giving up 2.86 goals a game. When it comes to the power play the Coyotes have converted at 17.4%, but have the best penalty kill in the business at 85.2%. The Oilers have slipped lower than the Coyotes on the season and that is definitely not something the Oilers are going to be happy about because they have quite a bit of talent and that is definitely not being utilized properly. The Oilers are also a tema that was able to lose gracefully if you want to call it that to the Islanders in a 5-2 drubbing.

With the Oilers the team has been able to score 2.76 goals a game on the year and the defense is giving up 3.36 goals a game. The Oilers as a team have converted on only 22.1% of the power play chances on the year, but the defense has killed off 75.6% of the power plays.
