Minnesota at Arizona

The upstart Wild have been playing better than expected especially recently, logging victories in each of their last six contests. Phoenix has better road numbers than they do at home and that usually means a club will begin to show their real value on home ice. Nothing is better than knocking off a team on a winning streak, so an inspired effort is likely in this one by the Coyotes. This is the fourth straight on the road for the Wild, so they could be getting weary legs here. The Coyotes are superb and dominating in this role as they have amassed a 38-14 mark in their last 52 as a favorite of -110 to -150, as well as a 28-11 mark vs. the Northwest. The Wild certainly hasn't fared well here either as they have won just one of their last five trips into the desert. Back Phoenix in this one.
