The Arizona Coyotes will head out of the desert and into Dallas as they take on the Stars in tonight's matchup. The Stars won their showdown against the Golden Knights last night, but because it went to a shootout, they technically haven't clinched a playoff spot yet. The Coyotes snapped their 10-game losing streak last night with a 5-3 win in Minnesota. Can the Coyotes spoil the Stars' playoff hopes tonight? It’s time to continue our NHL odds series with a Coyotes-Stars prediction and pick.

Why The Coyotes Can Cover The Spread/Win

This may come off as a bit of a hot take, but the Arizona Coyotes are not a good team. They're fighting for last place in the league with the Canadiens, just praying for a lottery pick come draft day. With that said, they did just beat the Wild last night after losing 10 straight games. There is some upside here though: during the Coyotes' last 26 games, the total amount of goals has averaged 7.15, and overs have gone 14-9-3 within that time frame. With that said, the Coyotes aren't scared to keep peppering the net with shots, even if they're still going to lose. Harri Sateri is the starter for the Yotes tonight as he is sporting a .822 save percentage in the few games that he's played this season.

Why The Stars Can Cover The Spread/Win

The Dallas Stars came away with a much-needed two points last night to unofficially claim the last wild card position in the West. With a win tonight, the Stars will solidify their position in the playoffs and will look to take on the Colorado Avalanche in round one. The Stars haven't been dominant defensively by any means, and still struggle with the depth in their lineup, but they still find ways to win games. Jake Oettinger got the start in the win last night, so Scott Wedgewood will likely get the start for the Stars tonight. He's showing out with a .910 save percentage on the year so far while allowing 3.12 goals against per game.

Final Coyotes-Stars Prediction & Pick

Let's be honest, the odds for this game are brutal. If you want the value pick, take the Coyotes Moneyline and just hope for the best. Other than that, there's really not much else to pick from. With that said, I'm going to take over 6 total goals. Both of these goalies let in a lot of goals, and Dallas is coming off of a very important win last night where they just want to have that little asterisk next to their name and prove they made it to the playoffs. Give me the over, it's a no-brainer.

Final Coyotes-Stars Prediction and Pick: Over 6 (-115)
