The Jets are in the midst of blowing a once promising season. They've lost six of ten, can't win at home with regularity, and can't seem to find the back of the net anywhere. Three of their last four wins have been by a single goal. They've scored just two goals in three games, and were shut out twice. Star net-minder Hellebuyck has not looked his best February through March.
Meanwhile, the lowly Coyotes have won 6 of 7 games, and even their last two losses have gone to overtime. They are better rested than the Jets, and should have Vejmelka back in net on Tuesday. The Coyotes are very much over-achieving on offense, averaging 4 goals per game over their last 8 starts. I'll take the Coyotes on the puck line at +1 1/2.
