Coyotes vs Panthers Betting Prediction

Arizona comes into this game on a two game winning streak, but they are only 8-10-3 on the road this season. The Coyotes have only allowed a total of eight regulation goals in their last five games, so the defense has been pretty strong. Florida snapped their losing streak in their last game and they are 13-7-2 at home this season. Both of these defenses have been solid this year and I think we are going to see a lower scoring game. Take the under in this contest.
