(NHL) Columbus vs. Arizona, 11/18/2021 9:00 PM, Score: 5 - 4
Money Line: -153.00 Columbus (Away)
Result: Win
No overthinking here. I'm going to fade Arizona off a rare victory. The Coyotes edged the Blues, 3-2, in their last game two days ago. Arizona has one other victory. That was 5-4 against the expansion Kracken. The Coyotes followed that up with a 5-2 home loss to the Wild.

It wouldn't shock me if the Coyotes didn't win two in a row all season. They are that bad.

So as long as the lay price isn't too huge, which it often is in games involving the Coyotes, I'm willing to lay it.

Arizona is 2-13 with 10 of those losses occurring by multiple goals one of which came against the Blue Jackets in the opener, 8-2.

Columbus has defeated Arizona nine of the past 11 times, including the last five on the road.
