Trends
Edmonton is 5-1 in their last 6 games overall and 4-1 in their last 5 games against the Western Conference while the over is 20-6 in their last 26 road games. Arizona is 15-40 in their last 55 games against the Pacific division and 31-63 in their last 94 games played on no rest while the over is 6-2-1 in their last 9 home games.
Pick
I’m sticking with Arizona +1.5 here. The Coyotes have been playing some solid hockey at home this season and just took the defending champions down to the wire. Edmonton’s a solid team, but the goaltending can be shaky and could allow the Coyotes to stay in this one until the very end. Give me the Coyotes +1.5 here.
