The Coyotes are better than the Panthers and have been in Florida the past few days after losing, 4-1, to the Lightning on Monday. Prior to that defeat, the Coyotes had won nine of their last 12 games. They are 10-3 the past 13 times meeting a sub .500 opponent.

This isn't a good spot for Florida. The Panthers just got done playing four consecutive road games. This is their first home game in a week.
