Vegas Golden Knights vs. Arizona Coyotes Predictions

Score Prediction Golden Knights 4 Coyotes 2

Vegas has dominated this season series with a 5-1 SU record, and with the Blues winning again last night to build their lead on Arizona for that final playoff spot in the West Division, it feels like it's getting to be that time to call it a day if you're Arizona. The Blues now own a five-point lead for that final spot with two games in hand on the Coyotes.

Even with Arizona's schedule softening after these two with Vegas (two vs LA, two at San Jose), the Coyotes still got to find a way to get something from these games with Vegas and that just hasn't been the case all year.

Don't let the two 1-0 losses in the past three meetings with Vegas persuade you too much, the Coyotes were outshot 29-14 and 27-16 in those games. Vegas should roll again to pad their lead atop the division.
