Ducks vs. Kraken Prediction

I’m on the under here. I’m taking the same road map that I took in the last meeting, as I’m not looking to lay this price with the Kraken even after a win and one win doesn’t move the needle. On the other side, the Ducks are struggling and I think this is another low-scoring slop fest for a full 60 minutes. Give me the under in this one.
