Anaheim Ducks vs. Vancouver Canucks Prediction

I’m on the Ducks here. Vancouver’s owned this matchup over the years, but the problem here is that this Vancouver team might be the worst of all of those years and this Ducks team might be the best of recent memory in this head-to-head matchups. Vancouver’s a mess right now, and it’s hard to feel good about where the Canucks are headed right now. I think the Ducks take care of business here and I think Vancouver takes another L. Give me Anaheim.
