For Arizona, the current regular season has once again turned out to be extremely disappointing, as the Coyotes have had no realistic chance to compete for a playoff spot for quite some time now. The situation is even more frustrating for them because they started the season not so bad and even for a while they were in the cup eight, but then everything broke down overnight, which made the situation sharply worsened. In the last 18 meetings Andre Tourigny's wards have only celebrated success twice, beating Ottawa and Washington 5:3 and 5:2, respectively, and in 16 other cases they suffered defeats. Such a losing streak has sent the team to 13th place in the Western Conference standings.

Detroit is getting closer and closer to being in a dangerous position that threatens to fall out of the playoff zone. Most recently, it looked like the Wings would never give up their Cup spot, and they had an impressive run of six straight wins through the end of February. As the spring progressed, things took a turn for the worse. First, they lost to the Islanders 3:5, then couldn't do anything against Florida 0:4, and the day before they suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of their friends from Denver 2:7. Three consecutive games without scoring points have led to the fact that now the Red and White are only seventh in the Eastern Conference standings.

Arizona is an extremely uncomfortable opponent for Detroit in recent years. It's all about the fact that in the previous six head-to-head meetings, the Wings managed to win only once. At the same time, the upcoming confrontation is the best opportunity for the guests to improve such a sad statistic. The thing is, the Coyotes are in terrible shape right now: they've suffered 16 losses in their last 18 games, and they've failed to pick up points at home in seven games in a row. The Red and White are also stalled right now, having lost three straight, but tournament motivation should create the mindset necessary for success.

Arizona has been losing one game after another lately, but also has been woefully weak on defence. The Coyotes have a lot of trouble at home, as they have allowed 27 pucks (5.40 per game on average) in five previous meetings at Mallett Arena.
