NHL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Coyotes vs. Devils (Saturday)
Arizona Coyotes (+260) vs. New Jersey Devils (-330) | o/u 6.5 (-110/-110)
The Devils have been playing exceptionally well this season, and it looks like they’ll be a contender in a tight Metropolitan Division. They haven’t been getting a solid offensive effort, and now they put Ondrej Palat on IR, but they haven’t needed it with how incredible their defense is. This is easily the best group of players on the blue line, and they’re leading the league in the share of takeaways, shots on goal allowed, and expected goals.
Are the Coyotes actually good? Picked early to finish near the bottom, they’re 4-1 this month with wins against the Islanders, Capitals, and Panthers. Enormous credit to Karel Vejmelka, as he’s on a great run, winning three straight starts and averaging a goal in that span.
We should see Akira Schmid making his first start, with Vitek Vanecek leaving the previous game with an injury and Mackenzie Blackwood already sidelined. This is an excellent opportunity to take the Coyotes with another big upset.
Pick: Coyotes ML (+260)
