They have lost 8 of their last 9 games and are coming into this one on a 7 game losing streak.

The Blackhawks have not been playing well in their recent games. They are coming into this one on a big losing streak that includes a loss at home to the Coyotes in OT and they are coming off of a 3 goal loss at home in their last game. Their only win in their last 11 games came against the Sharks who have been awful this season and they had to go to a shootout just to win that game at home. They are going up against a Coyotes team that has also been awful this season as one of the worst teams in the NHL but they are going to be at home for this game and they are coming off of a game that they played very well in despite losing by 2 goals. They lost to the Hurricanes but they were in that game competitively and in the 2nd period they were able to even match the 3 goals that the Hurricanes scored on them. The Coyotes have been bad but they are not going to lose every game for the rest of the season and with how bad the Blackhawks have been recently and on the road, this is a good spot for the Coyotes to snag a win at home. The best bet here is on the Coyotes to win at home here.
