Shane’s Free Pick
The Coyotes defense stepped up in the last game and they are going to do it again here. The Lightning are averaging 3.59 goals per game but they aren’t going to get close that number here. Look for the Coyotes to score at least three goals here and that is going to be the difference here as they are going to get the job done. This is one of my favorite plays. Back the Coyotes on money line.
