Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

Over the last two seasons, the St. Louis Blues and the Arizona Coyotes have faced off five times, with the Coyotes edging out the Blues with three wins to two. The majority of these encounters have favored the home team, which has emerged victorious in four out of the five games. When it comes to betting, the Arizona Coyotes have consistently outperformed expectations, covering the spread in all five games, while the Blues have not managed to cover the spread in any of the matchups. The total score has tended to be on the higher side, with the Over hitting three times and the Under hitting twice. Notably, the Coyotes have shown a strong power play performance in several games, particularly in the game on October 19, 2023, where they capitalized on power play opportunities by scoring three goals. The Blues, on the other hand, have demonstrated resilience in their gameplay, often keeping the scorelines close, as evidenced by the narrow margins in the final scores.

The most recent game between the two teams took place on November 9, 2023, and saw the St. Louis Blues clinch a narrow 2-1 victory over the Arizona Coyotes. The game began with an early lead for the Blues, thanks to a wrist shot goal by Oskar Sundqvist, assisted by Sammy Blais and Jakub Vrana. The Coyotes responded with a goal from Lawson Crouse, assisted by Clayton Keller and Nick Schmaltz, to tie the game. However, the Blues secured their win with a second-period tip-in goal by Robert Thomas, assisted by Pavel Buchnevich and Torey Krug. Despite the Coyotes’ 50% power play goal percentage and the Blues’ failure to score on the power play, the Blues managed to hold onto their lead for the rest of the game. The Coyotes’ goaltender, Karel Vejmelka, made an impressive 31 saves on 33 shots, while the Blues’ Joel Hofer saved 19 out of 20 shots, reflecting a strong defensive effort from both teams.

St. Louis Blues vs. Arizona Coyotes Predictions

The St. Louis Blues are coming into this game with a slight edge in recent performance, having won their last outing and looking to build on that momentum. The Blues have shown they can be resilient, avoiding extended losing streaks this season, which speaks to their competitive nature and ability to bounce back. With players like Robert Thomas leading the team in both goals and assists, the Blues have a balanced attack that can challenge any opponent. However, their road record suggests some vulnerability away from home, which they’ll need to overcome in the Coyotes’ den.

Arizona Coyotes, on the other hand, have had a mixed bag of results recently but have proven they can be a tough opponent, especially at home in Mullett Arena. With Lawson Crouse leading the charge in goals and Clayton Keller contributing with team-high assists and points, the Coyotes have weapons that can exploit any defensive lapses. Special teams could play a significant role in this matchup, as the Coyotes have shown proficiency on the power play, a factor that could tip the scales in a tightly contested game.

Defensively, both teams have had their struggles, but goaltending could be the difference-maker. The Blues’ Joel Hofer and the Coyotes’ Karel Vejmelka have both put up strong performances between the pipes, and their play will be critical in this matchup. As the teams prepare to clash, the key player match-up to watch will be between the Blues’ offensive leaders and the Coyotes’ defensive unit, which has the challenging task of containing a Blues team eager to solidify their playoff positioning.

St. Louis Blues vs. Arizona Coyotes Pick

The St. Louis Blues have demonstrated a strong ability to rebound after losses, and with their recent victory, they have the momentum to carry them into this matchup against the Arizona Coyotes. Despite the Blues’ less than stellar road record, their overall win percentage is slightly better than the Coyotes’, and they have been able to maintain a level of consistency that Arizona has struggled with. The Blues’ resilience in avoiding extended losing streaks suggests a mental toughness that could be crucial in a road game environment. Additionally, the Blues’ leading scorer, Robert Thomas, has been a consistent threat, and his ability to contribute both goals and assists gives St. Louis a multifaceted offensive edge that could prove difficult for the Coyotes to handle.

While the Coyotes have been strong against the spread in their recent head-to-head matchups, the Blues’ recent form and the narrow victory in their last encounter suggest that they have the ability to overcome Arizona’s challenge. The Coyotes’ power play strength is a concern, but the Blues’ goaltending has shown that it can withstand pressure, as evidenced by Joel Hofer’s performance in their last meeting. With the Blues looking to solidify their playoff positioning and the Coyotes coming off a two-game losing streak, the Blues’ determination and recent upswing make them the right pick for this game.
