How to Bet Coyotes vs. Blackhawks in Arizona
My recommended pick for the puck line is to take the Blackhawks to cover. Even if the Coyotes win straight-up, this one should be close throughout and the Blackhawks should cover the puck line. For those looking at the over/under line set at 6.5 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
