He has four goals and three assists on the season with two of the goals coming on the power play. Also tied with him in goals this year is Michael Carcone.

They have scored in four of the last five games this year on the power play, and have scored in six of the eight games this year. Meanwhile, the Penatly kill had been an issue. They have allowed goals when man down in six of their eight games. Arizona ranks 28th in the NHL on the penalty kill this year.

He started the season strong, with a save percentage of .917 or better in each of his first three games, going 201. In the last two starts, Vejmelka has struggled though. He has had a save percentage below,900 in both of them, giving up seven goals and going 0-2.

It will be Lukas Dostal to defend the net for the Ducks tonight. He is 4-1-0 on the year with a 2.79 goals-against average. He has given up two or fewer goals in three of his four last games as well. Last time out, he came in for a relief appearance, allowing just two goals on 35 shots in two periods to take the win.

Final Coyotes-Ducks Prediction & Pick

The Ducks have already faced the Coyotes this year. In that game, the Ducks outshot the Coyotes 33-27 but still lost 2-1. It was a low-scoring game overall. Both teams did score on the power play in that game.  Both teams can struggle to score at times. Still, both teams can put up a lot of points. Still, those are against lower-level defensive teams. While these two teams struggle to score, they are solid on defense. In this game, the best bet is the under, but the Coytoes should win.
