Ducks vs Blackhawks Prediction

The Blackhawks still have zero betting value as possibly the worst team in the NHL, and they’re riding a five-game losing streak with a defense that’s getting rocked nightly. The Ducks have earned points in eight of their last 10 games, easily their best stretch of the season. If this is a sign of things to come and the Ducks are going to make a last second push, these are the sort of games they need to take advantage of. The Blackhawks are horrible at both ends of the ice and have no betting value. Give me the Ducks and of course I’ll lay the PL to shave down the juice.
