NHL Predictions
Anaheim Ducks -104
This is a bet on Anaheim to win in regulation time. The Ducks are 10-3-1 on the season and 5-3-1 on the road. Buffalo is a league worst 2-12-1 and 0-7-1 at home. The Ducks are coming off a shootout loss in Boston, but had won three straight games on their road trip prior to that loss. The Sabres are coming off a 2-0 loss in New York on Thursday where they were out shot 46-29. They've lost 3 straight games and 6 of their last 7. Their lone win was a 3-1 win in Florida where they were out shot 45-21 but managed a victory. Anaheim is scoring 3.07 goals per game (10th), while Buffalo sits last in the NHL with just 1.47 goals per game. The Sabres are getting out shot on average by over 10 shots per game. Take note that the Ducks are 5-0 in their last 5 vs a team with a losing record, and 5-0 in their last 5 road games vs a team with a home winning % under .400. The Sabres are just 1-10 in their last 11 home games dating back to last season, 0-4 in their last 4 home games vs a team with a winning road record, and 0-5 in their last 5 vs a Western Conference opponent. Take Anaheim to get it done in regulation time at a good price.
