The Arizona Coyotes will take on the Edmonton Oilers in NHL action on Wednesday.
Arizona have had a poor season so far and further adds to the misery is the losing streak coming into the game. Placed second last in the Western Conference Central Division with 18 points, they are in desperate need of a win to stay afloat this season.
Overall, Edmonton have been decent this season, but they come into this one on the back of a loss and will look to get back to the winning ways. Placed fourth in the Western Conference Pacific with 28 points, a win in this game will give them momentum for the crucial part of the season.

Coyotes vs Oilers Key Stats
Arizona could not put forward good performances this season, having failed to score goals regularly. The only positive efforts have come from Lawson Crouse, who has 10 goals to his name and he promises to be the only player with a finishing touch.
While defending, they have conceded over 3.4 goals per game and goaltenders have been under a lot of pressure due to their weak defensive line. They have to make key changes to their system for better results in the rest of the season.
Edmonton have managed to score over three goals per game this season. Contributions from the trio of Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins have given them the desired spark this season. These three players have scored over 50 goals and have over 60 assists between them.
Their defense has conceded goals at the rate of more than 3.5 goals per game this season. It would be interesting to see the changes they make as they look to build for a better season.
Coyotes vs Oilers Betting Prediction
Both teams are coming into this game with a loss and it will have an impact on their performances due to the pressure involved in such games. Arizona have lost 72 in their last 107 road games and a poor run further puts them in a difficult situation.
While playing at home, Edmonton have done well, winning 25 out of their last 37 home games. Having a better team favors Edmonton in this game and can make full use of it to have a decent win
Prediction: Take, Edmonton,-1.5(-115)
