Hurricanes same-game parlay predictions vs. Coyotes Feb. 16: Expect a high-scoring affair in Arizona
The Carolina Hurricanes visit the Arizona Coyotes in the only NHL game on Friday night.
The pregame narrative: Carolina has been on a roll lately and faces an Arizona squad that has struggled to find wins recently, so I'm taking the Hurricanes on the moneyline to start. It's poised to be a high-scoring affair, so I'm also adding both the over for the game and the over on the Hurricanes' team total to bring this ticket to +200.

Same-game parlay Hurricanes predictions
Parlay: Hurricanes moneyline + Over 6 goals + Hurricanes over 3.5 goals (+200)
Hurricanes moneyline (-205): The Coyotes have lost seven games in a row heading into tonight's matchup with the Hurricanes.
Two of those losses came at home, which includes Arizona's most recent game against Minnesota. The Coyotes hold a respectable record of 15-11 at Mullet Arena this season but have also lost six of their last nine games on home ice.
Carolina, in contrast, has won five of its last seven games, outscoring opponents 15-7 in those five winning efforts. The Hurricanes have had no trouble with scoring this year, averaging 3.31 goals per game so far.
The Hurricanes have also dominated this matchup in recent history, winning eight of their last 10 outings against the Coyotes. Carolina won six of those games by more than one goal, and three wins came on the road.
Other parlay picks
Over 6 goals (-120): These two teams are primed to go over a relatively low total tonight.
The over is 27-22-3 in Coyotes' games this season, according to Scores and Odds. Five of Arizona's last eight games have finished above this total, partially due to the Yotes giving up 4.13 goals per game over that span.
While Carolina hasn't been as profitable in this respect, they still provide more than enough firepower on offence to push this total past the over. The Hurricanes currently have the second-highest power play percentage (27.5%) and the third-highest goal total on the man advantage (47).
Both of these teams have also struggled in net recently, with Carolina and Arizona holding team save percentages of .895 and .884, respectively, over the last 10 games.
The over on Carolina's team total is a fitting wager to add to this ticket.
The Hurricanes have been scoring at a consistently high rate this season, registering four or more goals in 23 of 52 games played. This bodes well for a matchup against the Coyotes, who have allowed four-plus goals in 23 games so far.
Carolina has cleared this total in four of its last 10 games against Arizona. Four different teams have scored four or more goals against the Coyotes over their current seven-game losing streak.
