Arizona Coyotes vs Boston Bruins Prediction: The Coyotes are failing another regular season

Prediction for the NHL Arizona Coyotes vs Boston Bruins match, which will take place on December 10. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Arizona is having another very weak regular season. The Coyotes aren't in any playoff contention, and their stretches of decent play are extremely rare. The only time they won more than one game in a row was in mid-November, beating Washington, Buffalo, and the Islanders 9:3 overall. It would have been better if they hadn't. They spent too much energy during that stretch, after which they suffered ten losses in 11 games, managing to beat only Carolina 4:0. So far, Arizona is 14th in the Western Conference standings.

Boston is having a great regular season. While the Bears had a lot of trouble getting into the playoff zone last season, they are now in first place in the Eastern Conference standings. In the offseason, the Yellow and Black were led by Jim Montgomery. In 25 games, Boston has already won 21 games, allowing only four losses, and the day before, the Bears handled reigning NHL champion Colorado 4:0 on the road.

Arizona and Boston, at the moment, are opponents of entirely different levels. Coyotes failed in the regular season and lost 10 of the last 11 games; that's why they are among the outsiders in the West. The Bears are doing great, leading the East with only four losses in 25 games. The statistics for head-to-head encounters also speak in favor of the Bears, who have won their last 19 meetings in a row. As a result, we'd have to bet on Boston winning with a handicap (-1.5) at odds of around 1.83.

Arizona is playing the regular season at a modest 5,000-seat arena, so not every opponent wants to play in that environment. As a rule, visiting teams at Mallet Arena have settled for pragmatic and cautious victories, which is why four of the Coyotes' last five home games have been low-scoring. Now we are unlikely to see a goal extravaganza, and the best option for the prediction seems to be a total under 6.5 pucks at odds close to 1.62. In addition, we should take a closer look at Jake DeBraska's 0.5-point total.
