The Arizona Coyotes continue to pile up the losses behind a defense that can’t get stops, and they’ve been one of the biggest fades overall dating back to last season. The Vancouver Canucks are playing their best hockey of the season over these last two weeks, and it feels like they’re due for a breakout win at home. Give me the Canucks and the PL for max betting value. The Coyotes can’t be trusted.
