Golden Knights vs. Coyotes Prediction

I’m on Vegas here. I’m a bit hesitant considering the potential for a letdown here for Vegas after beating Edmonton and snapping the Oilers’ winning streak, but the Golden Knights have already had an opportunity to get the rust knocked off, something Arizona hasn’t had. I think Arizona’s fine form at home has given us some value on Vegas with this line, as the Golden Knights are getting healthy and are definitely worth the look here.
