  • Game 12: Colorado Avalanche at Arizona Coyotes November 5, 2015

The Colorado Avalanche have not had a very successful start to the 2015-16 season, owning a 2-4-1 record thus far. They have managed wins against the Ducks and Stars, but lost to the Blue Jackets, and the Hurricanes who have a combined three wins between them.

If the Arizona Coyotes can take advantage of the Av’s recent poor play, they should have a good chance to win this contest. They need to start increasing their home record of 1-2. If they can win their three home games, they can get on a roll, and add to their successful road trip.

    • Last season the Av’s took both games from the Coyotes, winning one game in overtime, and the other by a 5-2 margin.

    They have lost Ryan O’Reilly, and with his off-ice activity they may not be missing him. The defense is suspect, and the goaltending isn’t doing much better. This would be a good time for the Arizona Coyotes to take advantage of the poor start by the Avalanche and start a winning streak at home. The road trip was successful enough with a 2-2-1 record for five points.

    The Coyotes were playing short-handed with three injuries to key players giving them challenges they could not recover from in Boston. Antione Vermette was out for his lower body injury, and what we all feared came true when Martin Hanzal also was out with a lower body injury. Add in that Connor Murphy also missed for the same reason, and you must wonder if Head Coach Dave Tippett is thinking about ordering some lower body armor for his troops.

    What it really signifies is that too many shots are being taken, and blocks are great, but eventually someone will get hurt, and it hit them hard with injuries to players they needed on the ice.

    Prediction: Arizona Coyotes 5, Colorado Avalanche 2
