The Arizona Coyotes are coming off two consecutive losses winning only one of their last five. With three of the games going beyond regulation a couple of those losses could easily have been wins instead, and I think they're looking good to break their luck against a Calgary Flames side that has struggled in Arizona over recent years.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Mike Smith - The 32 year old will be desperate to book a win after going win-less over his last seven starts. I like his chances of doing so versus a Flames team that he has dominated at home over recent seasons, going 4-1-0 with a 1.59 GAA.

2. Road Woes - The Flames have won only one of the last 10 meetings in Arizona losing each of the last four.

3. X-Factor - The Flames were held to 19 shots at San Jose on Wednesday but still won the game 2-0. That was not a one time thing with the Flames ranked near the bottom of the table averaging a poor 26.7 shots per game.

Selection: This is a play on the Arizona Coyotes (8*)
