Vancouver Canucks vs Anaheim Ducks prediction

Right when I was praising the Vancouver Canucks and giving them the benefit of the doubt as underdogs, they drop 6 of their last 7 games. The Canucks defense has been a mess during this losing stretch. With all that said, the Ducks are the Ducks, a below average team at both ends of the ice and a team that’s 9-20-1 on heir home ice. This is the perfect set up for the Canucks to get back on track, and they’ve won 5 straight games against the Ducks overall. The Ducks are enjoying a nice week, but the Canucks are the better team, no matter how you slice it. Give me the Canucks and the PL for max betting value.
