Coyotes vs Stars Prediction

If you’re looking for a straight moneyline bet, then the Stars are the way to go. However, with a payout of -283, you might consider using this bet as a leg of a parlay.

My recommended pick for the puck line is to take the Coyotes to cover. Even if the Stars win straight-up, this one should be close throughout and the Coyotes should cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 6.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
