Arizona Coyotes (7-11-3) vs. Vancouver Canucks (9-12-3)
The 2022-23 NHL betting action continues Saturday with this Western Conference battle when the Arizona Coyotes travel to take on the Vancouver Canucks at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Arizona is in the final stages of a 13-game road trip that has seen the club go 3-5-2 through the first 10 games. This is the third of a four-game homestand for the Canucks, who dropped the first two contests. These teams have not met this season, but Vancouver swept Arizona last year, including winning both games at home.
The Arizona Coyotes (7-11-3, 12-9 ATS) reach Vancouver for the 11th contest in their 13-game road trip. The club is 6-9-2 on the road this season, with only four of their first 21 games played at home. They are holding their own, despite not seeing their own home ice since November 3, and will not be back in Arizona until December 9, a span of 36 days. The club lost in Los Angeles on Thursday, 5-3.
“It's frustrating when you don't make the simple play and turn it over,” Christian Fischer said following the loss. “That's when they come and they score and they win. Just have to tighten up defensively.”
“There's some positive. Veggie was really good. We got better defensively a s the game went on.”

Matias Maccelli scored a goal and had an assist and Dylan Guenther added two helpers in the loss. Arizona has struggled to score this season, averaging 2.71 goals per game, 28th overall. They have scored three goals in three straight contests and four of their last five, but have been held to three goals or fewer in nine straight games. The power-play has been of little help, 16th overall at 22.2%.
