This is an 8* play on the Dallas Stars.

The Coyotes are coming into this contest as winners of three straight, but might find it difficult to keep that run going tonight. The Stars have already defeated the Coyotes at home once this season, and they are 5-0 in their last five home games versus Arizona.

Dallas has finally caught their stride after a slow start, winning six of their last seven games. The factors leading to this recent success has been a mixture of both improved defense and offense. One player who has delivered the goods is Tyler Seguin who is leading the league with his 25 goals.

Conceding goals shouldn't be an issue for the Stars tonight against a Coyotes team that ranks near the bottom of the league in scoring. Kari Lehtonen knows how to stop this Coyotes team as well, going 7-1-0 with a 2.09 GAA in his last eight meetings with Arizona.

The Coyotes are 1-4 in their last five playing on one day rest while the Stars have the complete opposite record.

Take DAL.
