Bet the Friday NHL: Peterson picks the Vegas Golden Knights vs Arizona Coyotes

Vegas Golden Knights (-185) @ Arizona Coyotes (+165), 10 pm EDT

The Las Vegas Golden Knights (35-11-2) have really turned the heat up, winning their last ten games in a row, and eight of those by two goals or more. The Arizona Coyotes (21-24-5) are 1-4 in their last five games and will have their hands full with a Golden Knights team that is fresh off of a dominant 5-2 victory over the highly talented Colorado Avalanche Wednesday night in a game that featured the top two teams in the West. Play the Vegas Puck Line here for maximum betting value.

Another bet worth considering is the Over 5.5 as Vegas has gone over the total in seven of their past ten games and Arizona has in six of their past ten games. Vegas is averaging 4.5 goals per game and 1.7 allowed in their last ten. Arizona is averaging 2.4 goals per game and 3.8 allowed. This game should by all means surpass 5.5 goals.

PICK: Vegas Golden Knights -1.5 (+140), Over 5.5 (-103)
