Neither team is any good. So I'm going to take a plus price on the Coyotes, who have been very competitive in their new temporary home, Mullet Arena. This is a small rink by NHL standards that is on the college campus of Arizona State. It's a tough place for visiting teams, especially those who have never played there. This is the Sharks' first visit.

San Jose has won just two of its last 10 games.

The Coyotes have won three of their last four home games. They've beaten teams far better than San Jose during this span knocking off the Kings, Maple Leafs and Avalanche.
