Lightning vs Ducks prediction

Te Lightning are on the end of a back to back, but they’re playing some of their best hockey of the season and have positioned themselves back into that trustworthy spot. The Ducks feel like a team that’s ready for the season to end, as they’ve lost 8 of their last 10 games and have been shutout in three of their last five games. The Lightning have won eight of the last 10 games against the Ducks, and that includes outscoring them 11-2 in the last two games. The only option for me here is to side with the Lightning and the PL for max betting value.
