Blues vs Ducks Prediction
The Ducks haven’t been able to string together wins this season, and they only have 13 road wins. These last few weeks are the best hockey the Blues have played all season, and they have to feel good coming home from a six-game road trip. The Blues have won nine straight games against the Ducks, which includes a 4-3 win last week. The Ducks haven’t beaten the Blues since December 2021. The Blues are in good enough form to lay the juice, and you could argue the price should be even steeper. Give me the Blues.
