Arizona Coyotes vs Dallas Stars prediction
The Arizona Coyotes haven’t been able to string together success this season, and they’re 11-19-5 on the road this season. The Dallas Stars are one of the best teams in the NHL, and they’re 20-10-4 at home this season. The Stars have also won 5 straight games against the Coyotes and 8 of the last 10 meetings against them overall. The Stars have a chance to clinch the top seed in the west, and games like this are layups to pad those points. The only option for me in this spot is to side with the Stars and the PL for max betting value.
