This is a 10* on ARIZONA

Arizona is getting Florida at the end of a five-game West Coast trip and they have to be liking their chances tonight. On Saturday, the Coyotes put forth one of the most impressive efforts we've seen by any team recently as they crushed the Lightning 7-3. Considering how well Tampa Bay had been playing going into that game, it really says something for the ‘Yotes. Meanwhile, the Panthers are reeling a bit. Ten goals allowed in just two games is not how they want to come into tonight, but that's the reality as they gave up five goals apiece in losses to Los Angeles (Thursday) and Vegas (Saturday). With eight losses over the previous 11 games, Florida has slowed down measurably since the All Star Break. Arizona has won its last three home games and two of them were against Washington and Tampa Bay. Last month saw them go to Miami and beat the Panthers easily, 5-2. Playing with 2 days rest, the Coyotes have gone an impressive 10-1 this season. Everything here points to an easy win by the home team. Play on ARIZONA
