Command Analysis
Arizona is in fifth place in the Western Division with a total of 43 points. They are just one point behind St. Louis but have played two extra matches. Now the team is in bad shape and is on a string of five defeats. Coyotes lose to pretty much everyone and, as a rule, concede at least four goals per game.
They lost away to Vegas (4: 7 and 0: 1) and had little success against Colorado (2:4) and Minnesota (2:5). This is not to say that in their home arena, Rick Tocchet's team is doing much better since for 21 matches they have had success in regular time only eight times.
St. Louis are gradually recovering. They extended a winning streak to three wins and were able to beat Vegas on their ice (3: 1), successfully dealt with Minnesota twice (9: 1 and 3: 2 OT), but still lost against Colorado in a tough fight with a score of 3: 4. In the last match, Blues were extremely close to having a full-fledged comeback, but they simply ran out of time.
Craig Berube's team has generally been good in away games and were victorious in 12 out of 21 matches. The main scorer of the squad is David Perron, and it is this hockey player who often changes the outcome of important fights.
