Rogers' 10* ICE BREAKER >> Won 7 of L10 NHL
(NHL) Arizona vs. Boston,
Money Line: -180.00 Boston (Home)
Result: Win
Money Line: -180.00 Boston (Home)
Result: Win
The set-up: I think the home side is well worth the price of admission in this one. The Coyotes enter off a 5-3 home loss to San Jose, while the Bruins come in off a 2-1 OT win at Ottawa. After a four-game win streak, the Coyotes have now lost back-to-back games and I expect them to flounder here as well in this difficult road venue. The Coyotes average 2.57 GPG and they allow 2.71. The Bruins come in having won two straight. Boston averages 2.67 GPG and it allows 2.53.
The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but the Bruins are 10-2 in their last 12 home games vs. a team with a winning road record, while Arizona is just 19-40 in its last 59 road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage above .600. Lay the price.
