NHL: Arizona Coyotes vs Dallas Stars odds, picks, and predictions

The Arizona Coyotes (23-50-7) go to American Airlines Center on Wednesday to face the Dallas Stars (45-30-5). The puck will drop at 8:30 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Arizona surprised everyone with a 5-3 win over the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday as +473 favorites. The Coyotes outlasted the Wild, who are still competing for home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs, with four third-period goals.

Dallas is one point away from securing a spot in the Stanley Cup playoffs. They'll put an end to the Vegas Golden Knights' season with a win or a trip to overtime. The Stars have won two straight games, both by a score of 3-2. Jason Robertson, a left-winger, has four goals and three assists in the last four games.
