Arizona Coyotes vs Tampa Bay Lightning prediction
The Arizona Coyotes have had some success against the Lightning in the past, and that includes beating them in the last two meetings. With that said, the Coyotes looked awful against the Panthers last night, and going to Tampa on the end of a back to back usually isn’t ideal. The Tampa Bay Lightning are 15-5-3 at home this season, and you have to like their chances with the rest advantage. The Lightning have been on a heater this month, and there’s no reason to step in front of them at home. Give me the Lightning and the PL for max betting value.
