Kings vs. Coyotes: Odds & Prediction
The Los Angeles Kings are -135 favorites with the Arizona Coyotes being +114 underdogs. The over/under is set at 6.5 goals.
Los Angeles routed Arizona at home but will now go on the road and play a very good Karel Vejmelka. The Coyotes struggle to score goals, and although their goaltending has been solid, LA has one of the best offenses in hockey and their offense will be too much for Arizona here.
