This must be a dispirited Coyotes team at the moment. They have a depleted roster, losing their two top defensemen and a better than average center in Bjugstad. They were pummeled by the Canes last time out. Not to blame Vejmelka who has been heroic for the Coyotes this season, but his goals against avg. is 5.54 in his last 4 starts.

The Devils are off a shoot-out loss to the Knights, so will be all in on Sunday. They are one of the very best road teams in the league at 22-4 this season. They are capable of some very good numbers these days, scoring 7 goals against both the Avs and Flyers. Adding the jewel of the trade deadline in Meier sure won't hurt the already formidable offense.

In spite of the Coyotes' surprising success at home this year, they don't have much of a team to run out against New Jersey today. Take the Devils on the puck line at -1 1/2
