The Arizona Coyotes open their season on the road against the New Jersey Devils. Last season the Arizona Coyotes were one of the worst teams in the NHL. They finished in seventh place in the Central Division. The New Jersey Devils finished in second place in the Metro Division. The Coyotes averaged 2.7 goals and allowed 3.55 goals per game. They were terrible on special teams as they had the 9th worst power play and sixth-worst penalty kill. Last season, the Devils had the biggest year-over-year improvement in league history. The Devils will be playing the second game of a back-to-back They’re in the second half of a back-to-back tonight after a 4-3 win over Detroit. Last season, they averaged 3.48 goals and allowed 2.67 goals a game. The Devils have a huge advantage on both ends of the ice and on special teams. Arizona was one of the worst teams last season both offensively and defensively and I don't see them being much better this season. Back-to-back games are not that big a thing at the beginning of the season. I like the Devils to win this game by multiple goals.

Play on New Jersey. This is a 3% play.
