Pick
I’m backing the Coyotes here. The Blues continue to be the streakiest team I think I’ve ever seen in all of my time watching hockey and my rule of thumb with the Blues is that you keep riding their current streak until they give you a reason to go the other way. Arizona’s battled hard in spots and I think this could be a decent value spot, even on the back-to-back, to take a stab at the Coyotes. Give me Arizona here.
