The Arizona Coyotes and Colorado Avalanche meet Friday in NHL action at the Ball Arena. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.

The Arizona Coyotes are averaging 2.8 goals per game and are scoring on 19.2 percent of their power play opportunities. Clayton Keller leads Arizona with 34 goals, Matias Maccell has 33 assists and Barrett Hayton has 158 shots on goal. Defensively, the Arizona Coyotes are allowing 3.4 goals per game and are killing 76.7 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Karel Vejmelka has given up 147 goals on 1,524 shots faced, and Connor Ingram has allowed 86 goals on 928 shots.

The Colorado Avalanche are averaging 3.3 goals per game and are scoring on 24.9 percent of their power play opportunities. Mikko Rantanen leads Colorado with 47 goals, Nathan MacKinnon has 60 assists and Evan Rodrigues has 168 shots on goal. Defensively, the Colorado Avalanche are allowing 2.8 goals per game and are killing 78.8 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Alexandar Georgiev has allowed 132 goals on 1,624 shots faced, and Pavel Francouz has given up 38 goals on 470 shots.

The Coyotes are 12-40 in their last 52 road games and 5-1 in their last 6 games playing on 1 days rest. The Avalanche are 78-31 in their last 109 home games and 145-70 in their last 215 overall. The under is 2-0-2 in Coyotes last 4 overall. The under is 3-0-1 in Avalanche last 4 Friday games. The Coyotes are 2-11 in the last 13 meetings in Colorado and 5-11 in the last 16 meetings. The favorite is 39-19 in the last 58 meetings. The home team is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings.

The Arizona Coyotes have been a mess on the road dating back to last season, and that’s unlikely to change in Colorado. The Colorado Avalanche have been one of the best home teams in the league the last two seasons, and they’re still fighting for a competitive division crown. Can’t allow games like this to slip away. Give me the Avs and the PL for max betting value.
