Arizona Coyotes vs Ottawa Senators: the Senators take an interest in playing against the Coyotes, unlike the Avalanche

Arizona defeated Colorado for the second time this season. Will the Coyotes be able to build on their success at home against Ottawa? Let's pick a few options to bet on at once.

The 2-1 win over Colorado is not Arizona's first success in recent weeks. Prior to that, Andre Tourigny's team defeated Las Vegas and Dallas at home. Understandably, games against the Coyotes aren't particularly exciting for teams with big goals. But the progress that the team from Phoenix has made over the course of the championship cannot be overlooked. Overall, Arizona has 15 wins in 54 games. The team is at the bottom of the Western Conference standings. 

Although the Senators are still losing more than they are winning, D.J. Smith's team is looking better in some games. For example, Ottawa resisted one of the strongest teams in the East, Florida, in their last away match, losing only 0-3. Not bad, considering that the Panthers are almost the most productive team of the NHL season. Ottawa has 19 wins in 53 games. The team ranks 12th in the Eastern Conference table.

• Arizona: Jay Beagle, Johan Larsson, Andrew Ladd, Liam O'Brien, Conor Timmins, and Dmitrij Jaskin will not play;
• Ottawa: Drake Batherson, Shane Pinto, Chris Tierney will not play.

The opponents haven’t faced each other this season.

Recently, the opponents have been quite impressive on defense. Arizona traded Wedgewood from New Jersey and Pittsburgh Stanley Cup winner Murray from Ottawa, and they have done excellent work in many games. It looks like the upcoming game will be low-scoring. Also, it's worth leaning against Ottawa. Arizona has a hard time against more or less equal opponents, plus middlings and underdogs from the East tend to be stronger than those from the West.

Prediction: Ottawa will not lose in a low-scoring match.

• TU (5.5) for 2.10;
• 2X+TU (6.5) for 2.22;
• W2+TU (5.5) for 4.20.
