Washington Capitals vs Arizona Coyotes Prediction

The Washington Capitals are the more talented team on paper, so they probably should be favored here. The road team has also won 6 of the last 8 meetings between the Capitals and Coyotes. With that said, the Coyotes have won 4 straight games and are getting the more favorable price at home. That has to count for something. Yes, the Capitals are a top-3 moneymaker for bettors right now, but the Coyote’s recent stretch has put them in the green for the season as well. Give me the plus money.
