Ducks’ Attack Takes Off
After two losses where the Ducks only scored one goal in each their attack took off in their last game in a 5-2 road win over the Nashville Predators. The Ducks outshot the Preds 33-28 and five different players lit the lamp, including Ross Johnston, who also had two assists. Lukas Dostal (2-2-1 3.02 GAA) gave up two goals for the second straight start after giving up a total of seven goals in his previous two starts. Backup Petr Mrazek may get the start to face the Bruins and in his lone start this season, he was peppered for six goals on only 23 shots.

Ducks vs. Bruins Pick
Money Line pick for Ducks vs. Bruins
- Ducks (4 units)
The Ducks are coming off a win where they scored five goals and the Bruins are mired in a five-game losing streak after winning their first two games. Boston started the season playing good defense but in their five-game skid are giving up an average of 4.20 goals. Anaheim has been up and down early this season and while only ranking 25th in the league in goals against per game, they played good defense in their last game. In terms of the Ducks vs. Bruins prediction, Anaheim will have another good game on the attack, facing a struggling Boston defense and will get the win, sending the Bruins to their seventh loss in a row.
Over/Under Pick for Ducks vs. Bruins
- Over (4 units)
In the Bruins' five-game skid, the total has gone Over three times and that is the pick I am leaning towards in this game. In those five games, the Boston defense has struggled, giving up an average of 4.20 goals per game. They have not gotten good goalie play, and that will continue in this game. While the Ducks have not been a big scoring team, they scored five goals in their last game and will put up a pretty high total facing a struggling Bruins’ defense. On the other side of the coin, while the Bruins have not been great on the attack as of late, they will be pretty good on that side of the ice in this game, facing a Ducks’ defense that only ranks 25th in goals against per game. This non-conference affair will be far from a defensive battle, so in a higher-scoring game the Over is the way to go.
