Vegas is 13-3 in their last 16 Thursday games and 9-2 in their last 11 games overall while the under is 4-0-1 in their last 5 games against the Central division.
I get the case to be made for either side here but I’m actually leaning towards the Coyotes here. I got burned by Vegas against San Jose and as much as it pains me to admit, the Coyotes haven’t been playing half bad this season. We’ve also seen a fair number of these massive favorites fall in spots this season and some at the hands of these Coyotes. Give me Arizona and the hefty plus money here.
