Ducks at Coyotes, Jan. 28: Lines, gamethread & how to watch

As Tuesday night’s game proved, the Arizona Coyotes are built to lose against the Anaheim Ducks. They’re a team that struggles to get goals — and frankly, the Ducks can relate — which means that John Gibson’s hot streak is only going to get hotter.

Of course, relying on goaltending alone isn’t the best strategy going in. The majority of the Ducks’ games so far this season have been a one-goal difference and the most goals they’ve scored this season was hitting three goals in a 3-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche. The team has had a run of good goaltender opponents this season, so eight games into the season, it’s not the biggest worry. Still, they’ll need more for the front half of the roster going forward.

Here’s everything you need to know to tune in tonight:
