Coyotes vs Jets Betting Prediction
Arizona comes into this matchup looking to snap their 11 game losing streak, but they will be on the road, where they are 8-15-4 this season. The Coyotes have had major issues on defense during this losing streak, but they do get their starting goalie back from injury here. Winnipeg has won five of their last six games and they are 19-7-2 at home, but they have had some issues scoring consistently in recent games. I definitely can’t back the Coyotes here, but I do think we see a lower scoring game with Ingram back in net for Arizona. Take the under here.
