Nashville Predators vs Arizona Coyotes prediction

The Nashville Predators are playing the better hockey over the last week, but it’s the Coyotes who have played their best hockey at home, and they’ve won 4 of the last 6 meetings against the Preds. The Arizona Coyotes are 13-9-0 at home this season. I’ll lay the cheap price with the Coyotes at home, as I’d need more plus money to consider the Predators on the road.
