Arizona Coyotes vs Washington Capitals prediction

The Arizona Coyotes aren’t a team you should be showing any attention, as they’ve won just one game over the last month. And sorry, but a win over the Senators to end the ridiculous losing streak doesn’t cure much. The Washington Capitals have quietly put together some nice hockey over the last two weeks, and these are games they need to take advantage of to keep chipping away in the standings. The Caps are making bettors money all of a sudden, and there are no excuses here with the early start at home. Give me the Capitals and the PL for max betting value.
