As the Arizona Coyotes prepare to host the Nashville Predators at Mullett Arena in Tempe, fans can anticipate an intriguing matchup. The Coyotes have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent games, demonstrating both resilience and areas for improvement.

In their last game against the Colorado Avalanche, the Coyotes struggled, managing to score only once on 25 shots and conceding four goals. Their power play managed to convert one opportunity but overall faced challenges with a shooting percentage of just four percent. The team's faceoff win percentage was also below par at 43 percent.

However, looking back at their previous home game against the Ottawa Senators at Mullett Arena, the Coyotes displayed a stronger performance with a victory. They scored four goals from 38 shots and had a better faceoff win percentage of 54 percent. This suggests that playing on home ice could provide an advantage for Arizona.

Their power play clicked well with one goal from three opportunities and an exceptional faceoff win rate during power plays of nearly 88 percent.
