Arizona Coyotes vs. New York Rangers Analysis

For at least a brief period, the Coyotes are in first place in the NHL standings, at least based on win percentage. Arizona looked impressive in its road victory over the Devils on Friday and should be one of the most improved NHL this season, especially if Cooley can contend for the Calder Trophy.

Last season, Arizona was a league-worst 7-25-9 on the road, but surprisingly didn’t fare too bad against Eastern Conference opponents, going 14-15-3.

Chris Kreider leads the Rangers in NHL player stats with four points in the first two games of the season. He has scored in both games. Rookie Will Cuylle scored his first career goal in the Rangers’ loss to the Blue Jackets on Saturday. New York was an impressive 21-6-5 against Western Conference opponents last season, which ranked third in the league behind the Boston Bruins and Devils.

Other than Shea Weber and Jakub Voracek, who aren’t expected to play this season, the Coyotes have a clean bill of health heading into the Coyotes vs Rangers best bets. Defenseman Ryan Lindgren is on the NHL injury report for New York with an upper-body injury.

Arizona Coyotes vs. New York Rangers Betting Pick and Prediction

While the Coyotes may be a fun team to watch for the first time in what feels like forever, they’re still a relatively young and inexperienced squad that should go through some rough patches this season.

New York is coming off of a disappointing loss in Columbus and should be motivated to perform well in their home opener – the Rangers were 23-13-5 against other NHL teams last season at Madison Square Garden.

The -1.5 (+105) puck line is an attractive option, then, for Coyotes vs Rangers best bets.
