How to Bet Coyotes vs. Kings in Arizona
My recommended pick for the puck line is to take the Coyotes to cover. Even if the Kings win straight-up, this one should be close throughout and the Coyotes should cover the puck line. If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 6.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
