Stars vs Ducks Prediction

Both teams are tied 1-1 in their two meetings this season, with each one winning on the road. The Ducks won 7-5 in Dallas and the Stars 8-3 in Anaheim and are 6-3 in their last 9 meetings.

In this Stars vs Ducks Prediction, both teams are coming at a pickem price. The Stars have been the better team this season but they are in brutal scheduling spot as they are playing their second leg of a road back-to-back, after visiting the Kings in LA last night. This will also be their fourth consecutive game on the road and they have been struggling mightily lately. The Ducks have been even worse lately, with nine consecutive losses and since I trust no team in this matchup, I expect a lot of goals. The Ducks’ defense has been atrocious lately and the Stars, despite losing, they have score at least three goals in each all but one of their last ten games. Take the over 6.5 goals with confidence in this one.
