Coyotes at Golden Knights: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Golden Knights 5, Coyotes 2

Money line (ML)

PASS. Vegas (-200) has won the last three vs. Arizona, including the final two head-to-head meetings last season. However, the price is too chalky to wager on.

Against the spread (ATS)

No matter who starts in net for both teams, VEGAS ( -1.5, +135) is the way to go. If it wasn't for Coyotes G Kuemper, Monday's result wouldn't have been as close.

The Knights are proving to be a strong finishing squad so far, outscoring opponents 7-0 in the third period. Also noteworthy, LW Max Pacioretty has scored a goal in each of Vegas' first three games.

ATS: Coyotes 1-2 | Golden Knights 2-1

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 5.5 ( -110) is the STRONGEST PLAY - 1½ times your usual wager. Arizona's first three games have all finished Over, witnessing 7, 8 and 6 goals. Let's ride that trend until it ends.

O/U: Coyotes 3-0 | Golden Knights 2-1
