Coyotes vs Wild Betting Prediction

Both of these teams come into this game struggling over the last week or so, but the Wild will have the home ice advantage in this matchup. Minnesota may be at home, but they are going to be on a back to back after playing last night. Both teams have really struggled to score in recent games and Arizona is only 7-9-2 on the road this year. I think the Wild have the advantage in this game, despite being on a back to back, and I like them to get the win.
