Coyotes vs. Red Wings Prediction
I’m on the over here. I lean towards Detroit to win because they’re the only team fighting for any sort of playoff spot, but I’m not laying this price with Detroit in their current form. The Coyotes aren’t much better though and both teams have been giving up goals left and right in the last couple of weeks. Arizona did just beat Detroit last week by a final score of 4-0, but I think we see more goals here. Give me the over.
