Arizona Coyotes Mullett Arena NHL betting advantage against the spread

The Arizona Coyotes are 9-13-4 and ahead of only the Chicago Blackhawks in the Central Division. They play 14 of their next 24 games in Arizona. The new 5,000-seat facility on the campus of Arizona State University is far below NHL standards. However, the team is playing well at home, averaging 92 percent capacity. Oddsmakers keep making them 1.5-goal underdogs. Home underdog advantage against the spread is 92-62 overall.

Arizona Coyotes are 4-1 as home underdogs against the spread this year. They have won against Florida Panthers, New York Rangers, Winnipeg Jets and Boston Bruins. Arizona's two losses against spreads came against Dallas and the Flyers.

Arizona Coyotes are good at home games. They rarely lose by more than one goal at Mullett Arena. The upcoming schedule will test the theory. Arizona has 14 home matches in their next 24 games, and they should enter at least half of them as underdogs against the spread.
