Dallas is a -333 home favorite while Arizona is a +270 road underdog with the total set at 6 goals for this game.

Matchup History

Trends
Arizona is 20-49 in their last 69 road games and 19-48 in their last 67 games overall while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games against a team with a Western Conference. Dallas is 5-2 in their last 7 home games and 5-2 in their last 7 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400 while the over is 3-1-1 in their last 5 home games.
Pick
I’m going with the under in this one. I just don’t trust the Arizona Coyotes’ offense to do much of anything, but Dallas hasn’t been anything special themselves and I just think this is a game that is going to have trouble getting to five goals between a pair of teams that have been trending towards the under in recent weeks. Give me the under.
