Red Wings Clinging to Playoff Spot After Dropping Three Straight
The Detroit Red Wings jumped into a wildcard spot for the NHL playoffs in the Eastern Conference during its six-game winning streak, but before the Red Wings vs Coyotes betting analysis, they were just two points up on the Islanders. They’re in desperate need of a win and are playing the right team as the Coyotes have been abysmal in 2024. Detroit is 15-13-1 on the road this season and ranks sixth in goals (3.48) and 22nd in goals allowed (3.26). They’re 24th in shots (28.9) and 26th in shots allowed (32.4).
Detroit has the 10th-best power play (23 percent) and 11th-best penalty kill (80.4 percent). Alex DeBrincat is tied for the team lead in NHL player stats with 54 points (23 goals, 31 assists) with Dylan Larkin (26 goals, 28 assists). Patrick Kane has 31 points (13 goals, 18 assists) in 31 games since signing with Detroit.
Coyotes with Two Wins in 19 Games
Arizona has been among the most frustrating teams in the NHL this season. They’ve won just two of their last 19 NHL games, but have been in many of those games. Moreover, they looked like they were ready to turn the corner early in the season with promising play from young players like Logan Cooley and Barrett Hayton.
Instead, the Arizona Coyotes are well out of the picture for the NHL playoffs in early March and rank bottom-10 in goals (2.89), shots (27.3), goals allowed (3.35), and penalty-kill (76.1). They’re 15-16-0 in Arizona Coyotes games on home ice. Clayton Keller leads the team in scoring with 53 points (23 goals, 30 assists).
Updates
Larkin is out for the Red Wings with a lower-body injury. Travis Boyd is on the NHL injury report for the Coyotes, while Matt Dumba, Nick Bjugstad, and Jason Zucker were held out of the lineup in their last game due to trade-related reasons.
