Ducks vs Blues Prediction
The Ducks have had enough recent success to give a look at the home underdog role, but I’m still leaning toward the Blues. The Blues have been slightly more consistent this season, and they’ve won eight straight games against the Ducks. The Ducks haven’t won a game against the Blues since December 2021. The Blues usually have a field day offensively when they play the Ducks, scoring three or more goals in each of the last eight meetings. With the way the Blues are scoring lately, you should like the chances for that to continue. Give me the Blues and the reasonable price on Friday night.
