Arizona Coyotes 2024 Stanley Cup Odds
One of the most pleasant surprises in the first half of the 2023-24 NHL season was the Arizona Coyotes. Arizona had a winning record and was in the thick of the playoff race. The Coyotes are succeeding with a shoestring budget and without a permanent home arena. Also, Arizona lacks a marquee man superstar. The Coyotes' performance is a classic case of the final sum outweighing the parts. Still, the future is foggy for Arizona. The NHL told the Coyotes to find a site for a new arena this year. None has been found. So, the Coyotes will continue to play at Arizona State University, facing the possibility of being moved elsewhere.

Arizona Coyotes NHL Betting Lines
At the approach of the All-Star Break, the Arizona Coyotes are 23-21-3 straight up and 23-16-2 over/under the total. Also, Arizona is 4th in the Western Conference wild card playoff standings. Arizona is four points behind the Nashville Predators in the Western Conference wild card playoff race. Late on Arizona has covered two out of their last six games. While the Coyotes have gone under the total in three of its previous ten matchups. Arizona has NHL rankings of 20th for goals scored and 11th for power play efficiency. In comparison on defense, the Coyotes have NHL rankings of 14th for goals against and 18th for penalty killing.
As the metrics reveal, Arizona has no real strengths. The power play has been the main asset, while the goaltending has been solid. Still, there is not enough there to sustain success over the long haul. Arizona may continue to offer better value to gamblers than their opponents based on favorable pricing. Casuals are not enamored with the Coyotes.

Arizona Coyotes History
Born in 1972 as a World Hockey Association charter member as the Winnipeg Jets, the Coyotes moved to the metro Phoenix area in 1996. Their best season was in 2012, when they made the Western Conference Final. Ironically enough, that is when they were an orphan owned by the NHL.
From the start, it has been a struggle for Arizona in the desert. Originally the Coyotes shared an arena with the NBA Phoenix Suns. But many of the seats in one end zone were obstructed. When the Coyotes finally got their own home, it was in remote Glendale. The theory was that there would be major land development with a shopping mall, homes, and entertainment complexes. The project never worked despite a football stadium for the NFL Arizona Cardinals being next door. Coyote fans hated the long drive from downtown and affluent Scottsdale. Especially for weeknight games.
Now the Coyotes have left Glendale to play at the home of the NCAA Arizona State Sun Devils program in an arena that seats around 6,000 fans. The plan is to play there for a couple of years until a new arena can be built in Tempe. The project is yet to see a shovel penetrate the ground.
