Chicago Blackhawks vs Arizona Coyotes Betting Analysis

Two teams mired in the bottom of the Western Conference face each other on Friday night as the Arizona Coyotes travel over to the United Center in Chicago to take on the Blackhawks.

The Coyotes however will need to improve on an extremely sub-par 6-20-4 road record this season, including losing all of their previous 16 road matchups as well, if they’re going to get anything from this game.

Chicago meanwhile haven’t been much better at home this year, going 9-16-3 overall, but have looked better over recent weeks, winning four of their last seven games at home in the United Center.

The Chicago Blackhawks beat the Arizona Coyotes 2-0 in this venue early last month, and have won seven of their last ten matchups against Arizona in Chicago also.

Things Could Be Even Worse For Arizona

Despite what’s been a tough season for the Arizona Coyotes overall in 2022/23, things could arguably be even worse for them as they’ve benefitted not only from a net positive expected goals differential this season, but also a sub-10% opponent conversion rate as well.

Only 11 teams in the league have a higher expected goals differential than Arizona this year, meaning they’ve converted more/allowed fewer chances than the data suggests they should have, with goalie Karel Vejmelka ranking top ten in quality start percentage this season also.

Offensive Problems Continue To Haunt Chicago

A poor 2.45 goals per game average (31st), 26.24 shots per game (31st), and a sub-10% conversion percentage has all combined to mean the Chicago Blackhawks have found it incredibly difficult to find the back of the net this season.

The data for the Blackhawks doesn’t provide much respite either, with Chicago ranking last in the league overall (32nd) in offensive xG this year, along with having the league’s lowest high-danger creation rate also.

Chicago Blackhawks vs Arizona Coyotes Prediction

Chicago have reason to be optimistic ahead of this game given their strong home head-to-head record against Arizona and the fact the crowd will likely be electric considering star Patrick Kane may be playing one of his final few games in the United Center as a member of the Blackhawks.

That said however, Chicago’s underlying numbers have simply been awful this year, pretty much ranking bottom five in every major category, and rock bottom in at least a few of those categories as well.

Arizona have been poor away from this home year no doubt, including suffering that 2-0 loss here last month also, but this is a perfect spot in which to even the series and we like the Arizona Coyotes to do just that against the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday.

Prediction: Arizona Coyotes Moneyline (-115)
