Arizona is showing amazing results. We have already forgotten the last time the Coyotes were serious playoff contenders, but now they are not hiding it; they are playing very well. From the very beginning of the season, they began to collect points actively, then they had a slight slump when they lost three times in a row in regular time, but they managed to stop the series of failures. In the last five battles, they beat Vegas 2:0, Tampa Bay 3:1, Colorado 4:3, and St. Louis 4:1, and the day before, they crushed Washington 6:0. Such a successful stretch put the Brick-and-Red in seventh place in the Western Conference standings.

Philadelphia also performs better than in recent years, but in the game, the Flyers lack the confidence that would allow you to believe in their ultimate success. The team can have a successful stretch, but a series of failures will follow. For example, in mid-November, they won five games in a row, but before that, they lost five of six, and after that, they lost four of five. At the same time, it is important to note that in the last two meetings, the Orange beat Pittsburgh in the Pennsylvania derby - 4:3 and 2:1, and victories over a principal rival are a great success. Philadelphia is in eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Arizona approaches the upcoming confrontation, staying in a gorgeous form. The Coyotes have not lost points in five consecutive games, and with each new battle, they look more and more confident in their abilities. In the upcoming match, they are favorites, as the opponents will be Philadelphia, which can not win in regulation time in seven consecutive meetings. Moreover, while they calmly dealt with Washington in the last game - 6:0, the Flyers were beaten twice in a row in the Pennsylvania derby, spending a lot of energy and emotion.

Arizona and Philadelphia can not boast of consistently productive hockey in recent times. If we look at the statistics, in the previous five games with the Coyotes, only 23 shots on goal (4.60 average per game), while the Flyers have scored and conceded a total of 19 goals (3.80 average per game) over a similar distance. Moreover, in only one of the last five battles, the Pennsylvanians have scored at least twice and allowed their opponents to score twice.
