The over is 5-0 in Devils last 5 overall. The over is 3-1-1 in Coyotes last 5 overall. The Devils are 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in Arizona and 11-4 in the last 15 meetings. The underdog is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings. The road team is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

The Arizona Coyotes have been fade material all season long, and their defensive effort doesn’t hold up against respectable teams. The New Jersey Devils have been road warriors all year long, and their offense should have a field day against this poor Coyotes defense. Give me the Devils and the PL for max betting value.
