Ducks vs Bruins Prediction
I’m on Anaheim here. I think it’s extremely telling that the Ducks are favored in this matchup, as it just goes to show how far the Bruins have fallen in a lot of their recent weeks. The Bruins look primed and ready for this team to go through their rebuild, and the Ducks look like they still have some desire to compete, which is a big deal for me here. The Bruins just look like they’re mailing it in and are resigned to their fate. Give me Anaheim in this one.
