The Coyotes are in a great ambush spot here. They had won three in a row until suffering an embarrassing 7-1 road loss to Calgary on Sunday.

Arizona has had three days to stew about that loss. The Coyotes should be pumped for the Sharks being back home.

The Coyotes catch the Sharks fat and happy. San Jose is off a satisfying 5-2 home win against the Penguins. This puts the Sharks in a vulnerable spot traveling into a different time zone while not getting into Arizona until the wee hours of the morning.

San Jose also is likely to go with backup goalie Aaron Dell.
