Vegas Golden Knights vs Arizona Coyotes Betting Preview
Golden Knights Ended the Oilers’ Streak
Vegas, among the NHL picks to win the Stanley Cup, is 13th in goals per game (3.18) and seventh in goals allowed (2.71). They’re without several key players, including Jack Eichel who is on the NHL injury report, but have been playing well as of late due in large part to the return of Hill, who missed more than a month. He’s 3-0 since returning from injury and has allowed just five goals on 111 shots. He hasn’t allowed more than two goals in seven starts.
The Vegas Golden Knights ended the Oilers’ chance at tying NHL history on Tuesday in a gutsy effort on home ice, but oftentimes teams experience a letdown after such a big victory. It’s worth keeping that in mind for the Golden Knights vs Coyotes score prediction, especially considering Vegas isn’t a great team on the road.
Coyotes on 3-Game Losing Streak
It’s hard to know what to expect from the Arizona Coyotes as they haven’t played in nearly two weeks and the organization has again been dealing with rumors about relocation after struggling to secure funding to build a new arena in Arizona.

Arizona is T21st in goals (2.94) and T14th in goals allowed (3.06). They’re 30th in shots (26.7) and 24th in shots allowed (31.7). Clayton Keller leads Arizona in NHL player stats with 45 points (20 goals, 25 assists) and Matias Maccelli is second with 32 points (7 goals, 25 assists).
Barrett Hayton, Matt Dumba, Travis Boyd, and Troy Stetcher are on the NHL injury report for the Coyotes.
