Bruins vs Ducks Prediction

The Anaheim Ducks have won six of their last seven games, but they could be one of those teams that had the break at the worst possible time. Will the Ducks be able to pick up right where they left off, or does the layoff kill the momentum? The Bruins have won six of the last nine games against the Ducks. The Bruins are also 18-9-3 on their home ice. The Ducks improved defensively during their winning stretch and have won in the underdog role six of their last seven games. It’s just hard to step in front of the Bruins at home. It’s even harder to believe the Ducks can stay hot after not playing for a couple of weeks. Give me the Bruins and the PL for max betting value.
