This is going to be a great game between two teams looking to improve in the Central Division. The Jets look to bounce back from a few losses in a row but the Coyotes look to take over this game on their home ice. The Coyotes, who average 3.30 goals per game, should constantly find the back of the net against the Jets, who allow 3.50 goals per game, with Nick Schmaltz, Clayton Keller, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone and creating open shots with great puck movement. The Coyotes, who allow only 2.70 goals per game, should limit the Jets offense with Sean Durzi, J.J. Moser, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone and limiting shots on the net. The Coyotes should win the game and provide great odds in the process as home Underdogs.
