Coyotes vs Canucks prediction
The Coyotes are still finding ways to win here and there as of late, but the truth is they have nothing to play for, and I don't like backing teams in this position this time of year. The Canucks are still fighting for playoff seeding, and they're 26-9-4 on their home ice this season. The Canucks have also won 8 of the last 10 games against the Coyotes. The Canucks held the Coyotes to 1 goal in each of the last 2 games. Give me the teams that have stuff to play for, and I'll fade the teams waiting for vacation to take place. That's the Canucks, and I'll lay the PL to shave down the juice.
