The Arizona Coyotes are coming off three consecutive losses as they will conclude a four game road trip in Washington tonight. The Capitals have lost their last three as well, and I expect those two struggling teams to play a tight low scoring game at Verizon Center tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Arizona's Struggles In Front Of The Net - The Coyotes have scored only six goals over their last five games and have only scored a total of 22 goals over their 10 games for the season. This should come as little surprise as the team struggled last season as the Phoenix franchise as well, finishing in the bottom 20 averaging 2.56 goals per game.

2. Trends - Eight of the last 11 meetings in Washington have gone under the total, and the same is true for four of the Coyotes last five.

3. X-factor - Alexander Ovechkin started the season with five goals in four games, but are now scoreless over his last six games.

Selection: This is a play on the ARI@WSH to go under the total (10*)
