Lightning vs Coyotes Prediction

When it comes to a moneyline wager, I’m going with the Lightning to defeat the Coyotes while playing on the road. Given the current moneyline odds at -135, I’m placing a wager on the Lightning to win outright.

My recommended pick for the puck line is to take the Coyotes to cover. Even if the Lightning 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.
