T.M. Selection: New Jersey Devils -1.5.

I like the New Jersey Devils on the puckline against the Arizona Coyotes in this game on Wednesday. The Devils have lost 2 games in a row but I like them to bounce back in this game. They lost both of those games on a mini 2 game road trip but are back at home for this game where their last win came. Their last win at home was over the Jackets by 2 goals. The Devils have looked a lot better on home ice this year and I think they are going to beat up on the Coyotes who are the worst team in the West this year. The Coyotes just won their most recent game but that win came at home and they were playing the only team in the NHL that has less points than they do this year, the Canadiens. The Coyotes were shut out in their game before that win over the Habs 5-0 to the Avalanche. The Coyotes have been winning more games lately but a lot of that is due to the fact that they have just played 6/7 games at home over their previous 7 games. Now the Coyotes are starting a 4 game road trip and I think they are going to get off to a slow start after being at home for so long. The Coyotes also have 1 of the worst road record in the league this year with 4 wins and 14 losses on the road. The Coyotes have been a mess since the beginning of the season and their year was doomed when they went on a 10+ game losing streak before winning their 1st game. They have been very up and down in their games, they either win close games thanks to their goalkeeper who is pretty good or they completely get their doors blown off and lose by 4+ goals. I think this is going to be one of those games where the Coyotes get their doors blown off. They are a very weak team on the road and I like how the devils have been playing at home lately. I like the Devils on the puckline to win this game by 2+ goals.

T.M. Prediction: 5-1 Devils.
