Red Wings vs Ducks Prediction

Both teams were tied 1-1 last season, with each one winning at home. The Ducks won 6-4 and the Red Wings 5-4 in overtime. Both teams are tied 5-5 in their last 10 meetings but the Ducks are 3-1 in their last 4 home meetings against the Red Wings. Over is 3-1 in their last 4 meetings.

In this Red Wings vs Ducks Prediction, the Ducks are coming as -130 home favorites. The Ducks have been playing good hockey this season and are 3-1 in their last 4 games, coming off a road win in Florida. The Red Wings have also been very good this season, but they are on the second leg of a road back-to-back and their third road game in four nights. I see no value on either side of this matchup and taking a look at both offenses, they score 7.11 goals combined, while allowing 6.53 goals per game, both well above today’s total of 6. Both teams are 7-1 to the over 6 in their last 8 games combined, and I expect the over to hit once again today.
