The Arizona Coyotes and Toronto Maple Leafs meet Thursday in NHL action at the Scotiabank Arena. The Arizona Coyotes look to build on their three-game winning streak. The Toronto Maple Leafs look for a win after splitting their last 10 games.

The Arizona Coyotes are averaging 2.4 goals per game and are scoring on 12.6 percent of their power play opportunities. Clayton Keller leads Arizona with 24 goals, Phil Kessel has 28 assists and Jakob Chychrun has 137 shots on goal. Defensively, the Arizona Coyotes are allowing 3.6 goals per game and are killing 73.7 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Scott Wedgewood has given up 68 goals on 749 shots faced, and Karel Vejmelka has given up 102 goals on 1,062 shots.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are averaging 3.7 goals per game and are scoring on 29.9 percent of their power play opportunities. Auston Matthews leads Toronto with 43 goals, Morgan Rielly has 40 assists and William Nylander has 183 shots on goal. Defensively, the Toronto Maple Leafs are allowing 3 goals per game and are killing 83.8 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Jack Campbell has given up 101 goals on 1,171 shots faced, and Petr Mrazek has allowed 45 goals on 409 shots.

The Coyotes are 23-50 in their last 73 road games and 22-51 in their last 73 overall. The Maple Leafs are 20-8 in their last 28 home games and 35-16 in their last 51 overall. The over is 5-1 in Coyotes last 6 road games. The over is 25-8-2 in Maple Leafs last 35 overall. The Coyotes are 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Toronto and 15-6 in the last 21 meetings.

The Arizona Coyotes aren’t a good team, and we’ve been fading them left and right this season, but they’re coming off a strong week and their offense has put together a combined 19 goals in their last three games. While easily the more talented team, the Toronto Maple Leafs have been a bit hit or miss as of late. If there was going to be a time to side with the Coyotes and the big plus money, this would probably be it? I’ll take a shot in the dark here.
