Coyotes at Golden Knights: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Golden Knights 5, Coyotes 2
Money line (ML)
PASS. Vegas (-200) has won the last three vs. Arizona, including the final two head-to-head meetings last season. However, the price is too chalky to wager on.
Against the spread (ATS)
No matter who starts in net for both teams, VEGAS (-1.5, +135) is the way to go. If it wasn’t for Coyotes G Kuemper, Monday’s result wouldn’t have been as close.
The Knights are proving to be a strong finishing squad so far, outscoring opponents 7-0 in the third period. Also noteworthy, LW Max Pacioretty has scored a goal in each of Vegas’ first three games.
ATS: Coyotes 1-2 | Golden Knights 2-1
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 5.5 (-110) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager. Arizona’s first three games have all finished Over, witnessing 7, 8 and 6 goals. Let’s ride that trend until it ends.
O/U: Coyotes 3-0 | Golden Knights 2-1
