Good luck picking this game, as you’re talking about two of the worst teams in the league that just can’t catch a break. From a side perspective, it’s tough to find the confidence in either side. That’s why I’m looking at the over. Neither the Habs nor Coyotes can keep the puck out of the net, and they’re at the bottom of every major defensive category. Goals should come easy. Give me the over.
