St. Louis Blues vs. Anaheim Ducks Prediction

I’m on the Ducks here. Both teams are having their issues right now but Anaheim’s been a lot stronger at home this season and the problem for the Blues is that this team tends to rely on their defense to get over the hump far more than I would like if I’m going to back them, and we’re seeing the problems that come with relying on that kind of style to win. I think Anaheim’s home ice carries them through here as they get a big win at home.
