Arizona lost a shootout to Los Angeles in the first meeting between the two of this current series on Thursday, but the Coyotes will bounce back by using a stifling, fore-checking defense and excellent play between the pipes from Darcy Kuemper. Arizona has won six of the last seven played on a Saturday and each of the last five when playing on a single day's rest. The Kings have lost five of the last seven overall and 40 of the last 56 played on the road. Los Angeles has not responded well on one day's rest as the Kings have lost 44 of the last 62 in that situation.

Everything points to the Arizona Coyotes here on Saturday night in NHL action.
