Betting on the Arizona Coyotes can be very tricky as the team can’t seem to string together consistent efforts on a year to year basis, let alone game to game. They play in a very tough Pacific division against top teams like Vegas, Edmonton, and Calgary, making it hard to consistently compete. This makes them a risky team to bet on.
The Coyotes tend to exceed expectations when not much is expected of them and falter when seen as playoff contenders. So they can be a good underdog bet when expectations are low.
Their record is inconsistent from year to year and even game to game, making them an unpredictable team to bet on. It’s hard to rely on them stringing wins together.
As they have not won a Stanley Cup and struggle to make the playoffs, they are usually a long shot pick to win it all. But their odds get better when projections are low before the season starts.
Key factors to consider when betting on the Coyotes include injuries, scoring depth, goaltending, and road/home ice advantage. Their success hinges a lot on these areas.

Arizona Coyotes Betting Tips
The Arizona Coyotes have a bright future given their young stars. But how long will it be until they become playoff contenders once again?
Let's not kid ourselves. They are in a very tough division and have to play other teams with an abundance of young talent, including the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers. Both teams are currently more consistent and ready to compete on a daily basis.
Then you look at San Jose, Los Angeles and Anaheim, three teams that are prove NHL winners. The Sharks may start to see a severe decline, especially as the core of their team is approaching the final years of their storied careers. Anaheim still have a few good years left and you can never count the Kings out.
They are well drilled, well coached and are equipped with two world-class goaltenders, one of the best defenseman in the entire league and a gritty offensive corps that perpetually get the job done. They have pedigree in bundles and vast experience to match.
The Vancouver Canucks are the only team the Coyotes can feel good matching up against in the near future. So it's going to be a while yet before the Coyotes are challenging for the Pacific Division title and a few years before they are playoff bound once more.
