Arizona Coyotes vs. Dallas Stars Predictions

The Dallas Stars enter this game with a strong record, sitting comfortably in playoff contention within the Central Division. They’ve been particularly formidable at the American Airlines Center, boasting a 20-10-4 home record. The Stars’ offense has been led by left winger Jason Robertson, who tops the team with 68 points, while center Roope Hintz has been a key goal scorer with 26 goals. Defensively, Dallas ranks among the top teams in the conference, which will be crucial as they face a Coyotes team that has shown flashes of offensive potential.

On the other side, the Arizona Coyotes have had a challenging season but come into this game on a two-game winning streak, giving them a boost of confidence. Right winger Clayton Keller has been the standout performer for the Coyotes, leading the team with 27 goals and 59 points. Left winger Matias Maccelli has also been a bright spot, contributing a team-high 35 assists. While their overall record is not impressive, the Coyotes have demonstrated they can compete, especially with their recent uptick in performance.

This game will feature a key matchup between the Stars’ potent power play unit and the Coyotes’ penalty kill. Special teams could very well decide the outcome, with both teams looking to capitalize on their opportunities. As the Stars push for a higher seed in the playoffs, they’ll rely on their depth and home-ice advantage, while the Coyotes aim to disrupt their plans and continue building positive momentum towards the end of the season.

Arizona Coyotes vs. Dallas Stars Pick

Despite the Dallas Stars being the clear favorites with a strong home record and a solid position in the standings, the value lies in the Arizona Coyotes moneyline bet. The Coyotes are on a two-game winning streak and have shown they can be competitive, particularly with Clayton Keller leading the charge. While historically the Stars have had the upper hand, the Coyotes’ recent form and the potential for high returns on the underdog bet make it an enticing pick. The Coyotes have also managed to cover the spread in their last encounter, indicating they can keep the game close, which could lead to an upset victory.

Furthermore, the Stars have shown some vulnerability, with a less than stellar against the spread (ATS) record this season. The Coyotes’ ATS performance, on the other hand, suggests they are often underestimated by the odds. With the game also featuring key matchups on special teams, an area where the Coyotes could capitalize, there’s a chance for Arizona to disrupt the Stars’ rhythm. Considering the potential payout and the Coyotes’ recent uptick in performance, the Arizona moneyline bet offers a high-risk but high-reward opportunity that could pay off for bettors looking for value.

The Pick: Arizona Coyotes +250 (BetRivers)
