Coyotes Need Defense To Step up

The offense for the Coyotes has seemed to be fine, but the defense at times has been a major issue.

The Coyotes are averaging 3.21 goals while their defense is giving up 3.31 goals per game. Clayton Keller on the season has scored seven goals and added 11 assists so far this season. 

Golden Knights Offense Needs to Get Going

The last couple of games the Golden Knights offense hasn’t been good enough, and that is going to need to change here.Over the last two games the Golden Knights have scored two only two goals total and they need to find a way to get going. Even though they have struggled to score in the last game they were able to beat the New York Jets 2-1. The Golden Knights are averaging 3.3 goals while their defense is giving up 2.4 goals per game. The defense is the third best in hockey.
