Canucks vs Ducks Prediction
The Canucks have won 9 of the last 10 games against the Ducks so you can make a case for the home dog. Unfortunately that’s the only thing the Canucks have going for them. The Canucks are awful folks and head and shoulders the least profitable team in the NHL. If you’ve just blindly bet against the Canucks all season, you’re doing well. The Ducks are comfortably the better team here and they’re trying to close on a Pacific division crown. Games like this are a gift. Give me the Ducks and the PL for max betting value.
