The Arizona Coyotes and the Buffalo Sabres meet in NHL action from KeyBank Center on Tuesday night.
The Arizona Coyotes will look to find some consistency, alternating wins and losses in each of their last four games following a 3-2 win over Washington in their last game. Clayton Keller leads the Coyotes with 11 points including 3 goals and a team-high 8 assists while Shayne Gostisbehere has 10 points with 4 goals and 6 assists. Nick Ritchie has 8 poitns with a team-high 6 goals and Lawson Crouse and Matias Maccelli each have 7 points with Crouse logging 5 goals while Maccelli has 7 assists. Karel Vejmelka has gone 3-3-1 with a 3.72 GAA and a .901 save percentage while Connor Ingram has gone 1-3 with a 4.42 GAA and an .874 save percentage between the pipes for Arizona this season.
The Buffalo Sabres will try to rebound from back-to-back losses after a 5-3 loss to Tampa Bay in their last game. Rasmus Dahlin and Tage Thompson each have 15 points with both logging a team-high 8 assists as well as 7 goals. Alex Tuch and Jeff Skinner each have 11 points with Tuch logging 7 goals while Skinner has 8 assists. Victor Olofsson has a team-high 9 goals as well this season. Eric Comrie’s gone 4-4 with a 3.39 GAA and an .894 save percentage while Craig Anderson’s 3-1 with a 2.25 GAA and a .927 save percentage so far in goal for Buffalo this season.
Arizona is 34-76 in their last 110 games overall and 20-44 in their last 64 games following a win while the over is 6-1-1 in their last 8 Tuesday games. Buffalo is 7-2 in their last 9 home games and 40-89 in their last 129 games against the Central division while the over is 5-0 in their last 5 games overall.
I get the case to be made either way here, but I’ll look at the over here. I’m not trying to lay this kind of price with Buffalo to begin with, and the Arizona Coyotes are almost unbackable on the road. I think this matchup is destined for fast paced action and for the puck to be picked up out of the back of the net more often than not on Tuesday. Give me the over.
