The Stars are 7-2 in their last 9 road games and 1-4 in their last 5 Friday games. The Coyotes are 6-2 in their last 8 home games and 57-117 in their last 174 overall. The over is 10-4-1 in Stars last 15 overall. The over is 4-1-1 in Coyotes last 6 home games. The Stars are 6-2 in the last 8 meetings in Arizona and 21-6 in the last 27 meetings. The favorite is 26-7 in the last 33 meetings. The home team is 24-9 in the last 33 meetings.
The Arizona Coyotes have had success recently on their home ice, but their larger sample size suggests they’re a below average team that currently has nothing to play for. The Dallas Stars have done some of their best work on the road lately, and they’ve beaten the snot out of the Coyotes over the years. Give me the Stars and the PL for max betting value.
