NY Rangers vs Anaheim Ducks Prediction
The Anaheim Ducks haven’t had much success in the underdog role this season, and it’s hard to find success on the road when the offense doesn’t show up most nights. The New York Rangers are the better team at both ends of the ice, and they’ll be eager to rebound from a frustrating loss to the Panthers. The Rangers have won 8 of the last 10 games against the Ducks, and most of those games weren’t close. I’ll ride with the Rangers and lay the PL for max betting value.
