New Jersey Devils vs Arizona Coyotes Prediction
At -150 odds, the New Jersey Devils are the pick in this game. Now, we do understand the Devils previously lost to the Coyotes earlier in the season at home, but a lot can change in a few months.
The Coyotes are playing some of their worst hockey of the season. After a lopsided loss to the Golden Knights 6-1, we don’t see them having much momentum. They’ve lost their previous three games by a combined 16-3 score.
If you’re going to bet online, the Devils’ moneyline at -150 is definitely the way to go.
