Kraken vs Coyotes Prediction

Arizona comes into this matchup second to last in the Central standings, but they have won two games in a row. Seattle is right in the middle of the Pacific standings and they have alternated wins and losses over their last five games. Seattle has struggled to score consistently this season, but they have been pretty solid on the defensive end of the ice. Seattle is 16-17-6 at home, while Arizona is just 12-20-5 on the road. I don’t love either team in this game, but I do like how Arizona has been able to score over the last couple of weeks. Give me the over in this matchup.
