Arizona Coyotes (27-35-13) vs Dallas Stars (40-20-14)

This is a great spot for the Coyotes in my opinion. I know, the Stars have kicked Arizona’s teeth in this season and have won all three meetings, but the Coyotes have been rock solid at home, with a 24-12 puck line record at home and the Yotes continue to be the league’s most profitable home team, covering nine straight on the +1.5 puck line at home. Dallas could and should win this game as they need the victory for their playoff positioning, but I think we could see a back-up in goal here in Matt Murray and the Stars could get caught looking ahead here as they’re on a back-to-back and have a key matchup in Colorado on Saturday. Four of Arizona’s last 5 games have been one goal games and I think another tight one could be on the horizon here as the Coyotes aren’t just keeping these games close against nobodies. They’re battling teams like Colorado and Edmonton. I’ll side with the Coyotes +1.5 here.
Chris’s Pick Arizona Coyotes: +1.5 -130
