Ottawa Senators vs Arizona Coyotes prediction

This line is surprising, as the Ottawa Senators haven’t been able to get out of their own way lately, and now they’re on the road against a Coyotes’ team that’s beaten them in 7 of the last 10 meetings. The Arizona Coyotes have also been the better team overall this season and have a much better defense. Why this line is so soft is anyone’s guess. I’m still riding with the Coyotes and the cheap price.
