NHL Predictions: St Louis Blues vs Minnesota Wild<\/span><\/h2>\n

Pittsburgh Penguins vs Arizona Coyotes<\/span><\/h3>\n

Head to Head: Penguins 1-0 Coyotes <\/span><\/h4>\n

Sidney Crosby<\/a> and the Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a> head to Mullet Arena to take on the Arizona Coyotes<\/a>. Pittsburgh has been off to a bad streak, losing their last six games. Arizona hasn’t made out much better as they’ve dropped their last four games. Tristan Jarry<\/a> remains out, which is a low blow to the Penguins. <\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, Crosby and Evgeni Malkin<\/a> are must-watch players, but a pair of blueliners in Arizona is essential to protect. Jakob Chychrun<\/a> and Shayne Gostisbehere<\/a> are having excellent years. Upon returning, Chychrun is a point-per-game player, and Gostisbehere is second on the team in points. Teams could come calling for their services come deadline time. With the Penguins continuing to struggle, Arizona will have a victory on home ice. <\/span><\/p>\n

Prediction: Coyotes defeat Penguins 3-2<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
