The majority of the NHL was in action on MLK Monday, and the Detroit Red Wings were one of those teams. However, it was not much of a holiday for them. They were taken down in convincing fashion by the Colorado Avalanche. Now they head to Arizona to face the Coyotes, who are coming off a loss themselves this past Sunday.

These are two teams that don’t meet often, but our experts still have Red Wings vs. Coyotes predictions for you with odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Red Wings had the unfortunate luck of facing the defending Stanley Cup champion Avalanche right after they found their groove with a 7-0 win over the Ottawa Senators this past weekend. However, Detroit has a solid chance to bounce back and return to the win column against an Arizona squad that is an abysmal 1-9-0 in its last 10 games.

While we do expect the Wings to prove they are the better team, the better and smarter play looks to be backing a high-scoring game. Therefore the best bet from our Red Wings vs. Coyotes predictions is on the over six goals.

First and foremost, it is extremely surprising that this game isn’t listed with a total of 6.5 goals. Not only has the goaltending been unimpressive between these teams, but the Wings will be on the second night of a back-to-back. That means that they will likely be starting a backup goaltender given that Vile Husso was in net against the Avs yesterday.

Not only that, but Husso also hasn’t been impressive lately anyway and was actually pulled in yesterday’s game. With backup Magnus Hellberg going in to replace him, Alex Nedeljkovic will likely be in net tonight. He has by far the worst save percentage of the three at just .880 percent. The Wings went down 5-0 yesterday with Husso in net, so there’s no telling how much worse it could look with a third stringer.

The primary reason this total is still listed at just six goals rather than 6.5 is due to the Coyotes’ lackluster goal-scoring. However, after what we just outlined they should be able to find the back of the net at least a couple of times. Although the Red Wings’ goaltending has been terrible recently, they did still score three goals in yesterday’s contest.

Arizona has allowed the seventh-most goals per game this season, so Detroit can at least feel confident in its ability to overcome the number of goals it has been allowing. Either way, rather than sweating out a winner the best bet from our Red Wings vs. Coyotes predictions is on the over six goals.
