NHL Odds and Prediction: Blues vs. Coyotes (April 23)

The third-place St. Louis Blues travel to Arizona to take on the eighth-placed Coyotes. This is the fourth meeting between these two teams this season. The Blues won two of the first three games.

The St. Louis Blues have won 10 of their last 11 games. They are averaging 4.91 goals per game. The Blues rank third in the league this season in expected goal value of five-on-five shot attempts. In their three games against Arizona this year, the Blues are scoring 4:67 goals.

Arizona Coyotes are playing their third game in four nights against Washington Capitals on Friday. The Coyotes have lost nine of their last 10 games. Their defense is the worst in the league, as they rank last in expected goals against per 60 minutes. Harri Sateri will start for the Coyotes. He has allowed five or more goals in each of his two starts this season.

St. Louis Blues are playing against the Coyotes on April 23. The Blues have been on fire and I see no reason why that doesn't continue against a team that is struggling.
