Coyotes vs Red Wings Betting Prediction
Detroit comes into this game playing like one of the worst teams in the NHL over the last six games. The Red Wings have shown very little effort during this six game losing streak and their defense has been horrible. The Wings are trying to hang around in the playoff race, but they need to turn it around soon. Arizona has also been very bad recently, but they did beat Detroit last week by a score of 4-0 at home. The Coyotes are only 10-19-5 on the road and they have been out scored 11-5 by the Wild and Blackhawks in their last two games. I don’t think it is safe to pick Detroit in any game until they show more effort, so I am going to take the over with how bad they have been on defense.
