The Coyotes are coming into this game with 49 points, a 22-48-5 record overall, and they are 10-25-1 in their home games this regular season where they will be in this game. They have lost 7 of their last 8 games and are coming into this one on a 6 game losing streak.

The Hurricanes have not been playing well coming into this game and they have lost their last 2 straight. Their last loss was to the best team in the NHL but they were still smashed 7-4 in that game and that comes right after getting shut out at home by the Red Wings in their game prior. The Hurricanes have not played well and with the playoffs just around the corner, they do not want to be losing going into them. They are going up against a Coyotes team here that has been awful in their recent games and this is a good chance for the Hurricanes to bounce back with a big win as they will be hungry for one. The Coyotes have lost their last 6 straight games and their closest loss was by 4 goals in that span. The most they scored in one of those games is 2 goals and they scored just 1 goal in the other 4 games. They are also coming off of a very bad loss on the road against the Flames 9-1 and that is how a lot of their games have gone recently. This should be an easy bounce back spot for the Hurricanes here and they should win this game on the puckline.

“Obviously, a very good team we played against. Still, not happy the way we played. We gave way too much.” - Sebastian Aho after their loss against the Avalanche on Saturday night.

 

 

“NHL for me is full of slumps. You need to be able to react to a slump. If you cannot get out of a slump in the NHL, you’re in trouble. You will be a streaky player. NHL is not about that. It’s about being good every day. It’s about consistency.” - Andre Tourigny after his team’s loss against the Canucks on Thursday night.
