There's only one matchup on the board in the NHL tonight, and whoever created the schedule didn't do us any hockey favors by making the sole game a toilet bowl between the Arizona Coyotes and Ottawa Senators.

The Coyotes are dead last in the NHL with 40 points, but have gone 6-4 over their last 10 games. The Senators aren't much better, totaling 47 points, and are just 3-7 in their last 10 games.

Arizona won the first meeting between these two teams this season, beating them 8-5 at home back on March 5. Here are the odds via WynnBET for tonight's rematch.

Coyotes vs. Senators Prediction and Pick

This may come as a surprise, but few teams have been more accurate with their shots than the Arizona Coyotes over each team's last 25 games. During that stretch, the Coyotes rank fourth in shooting percentage, finding the back of the net on 11.89 percent of their shot attempts. The Senators are second last in that stat over the same period of time, with a shooting percentage of just 7.88 percent.

Let's be honest, these two teams rank near the bottom of the league in just about every other analytic you can think of. Their poor records are no coincidence. With that being said, the Coyotes being good shooters is enough to put them over the top when it comes to betting a bad matchup like this, especially considering Arizona is a road underdog.
