Red Wings vs Coyotes Betting Prediction
Detroit comes into this game on a three game losing streak and they have been dominated by the Panthers and Avalanche in their last two games. The Wings are currently in a Wild Card spot, but they need to turn things around quickly. Luckily for Detroit, this Arizona team has really struggled over the last few weeks and will be on a back to back in this game. Detroit hasn’t been awful on the road this season and I think their offense, even without Larkin, will have a bounce back night. Take Detroit here.
