Ducks vs Lightning Prediction

In this Ducks vs Lightning Prediction, the Lightning are coming as -200 home favorites. This line is disrespectful to the Ducks, who have been very good this season and have more that twice as many points as the Lightning. Tampa has been off to a terrible start with just one win in seven games played and score almost 1.2 goals per game less than the Ducks. There is huge value with the road team, so take the Anaheim Ducks by +1.5 goals in this one and maybe sprinkle on the moneyline as well.
