Ducks take aim at third straight win in home test vs. Coyotes

Hockey Betting Lines

03/22/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Anaheim Ducks will shoot for their first three-game winning streak in nearly four months when they welcome the Phoenix Coyotes for today's clash at the Honda Center.

The Ducks last won three in a row during a four-game winning streak from November 22-30 and have posted back-to-back victories on six occasions since that stretch.

Anaheim is coming off close wins over Nashville and these same Coyotes. The Ducks recorded an overtime win over the visiting Predators on Wednesday and won a shootout decision the following night at Phoenix. This is not a home- and-home series, however, as the Coyotes hosted Vancouver on Saturday.

Bobby Ryan scored the winner in the shootout as the Ducks got a big two points in the 3-2 win over the Coyotes. Anaheim has 74 points and is tied with Minnesota and Dallas for the 10th seed in the West. The trio is just three points behind Nashville for the conference's eighth and final postseason berth.

Petteri Nokelainen and Drew Miller each lit the lamp in regulation for the Ducks. Jonas Hiller finished the game with 26 saves for Anaheim.

The Ducks are just 17-16-3 as the host this year, but have won two of their last three on home ice.

The Coyotes have won two of their last three games, but are 14th in the West with 67 points on the year. Phoenix was in action on Saturday and recorded a 5-1 victory over the visiting Canucks.

Ilya Bryzgalov made 35 saves to lead the way in the decisive victory over Vancouver at Jobing.com Arena.

The Coyotes used an odd goal to help them post the win. Victor Tikhonov was credited with a second period tally, but it was actually Vancouver's Shane O'Brien that scored the goal. O'Brien scored on his own net while a delayed penalty was called on Tikhonov, who was given his eighth goal of the season.

Also scoring for Phoenix were Matthew Lombardi, Shane Doan, Daniel Winnik and Ed Jovanovski.

The Coyotes have lost four straight and six of their last seven road tests and are just 11-21-4 as the guest this season.

Anaheim has taken three of four from the Coyotes this season and has won five of the last six matchups overall in the series. Phoenix has dropped two of three at the Honda Center, but has also won four of its last six road tests against the Ducks.
