Ducks vs. Blackhawks Pick
Money Line pick for Ducks vs. Blackhawks
- Blackhawks (5 units)
Both of these teams are coming off a loss after winning their previous two games. Chicago has played good defense on the season, so far, and besides putting up eight goals in one game, they have not scored over three goals in any of their other five games. They will score around three goals in this game, facing a Ducks’ defense that has struggled early on, giving up an average of 4.00 goals per game, and giving up at least three goals in all four games. In Anaheim’s two losses, they only totaled two goals, while in the two wins, they totaled 11 goals. They will not do much on the attack in this game, facing a good Chicago defense. Regarding the Anaheim Ducks vs. Chicago Blackhawks prediction, the Blackhawks will not kill it on the attack but will play solid defense, which is why they are the pick.
Take the Blackhawks on home ice.
Over/Under Pick for Ducks vs. Blackhawks
- Under (4 units)
The total for both teams in their last games went Under and that is the pick I am leaning towards in this game. The Blackhawks blew up for eight goals in the game before their last one, but in the other five games, they did not score more than three goals in any of them. They will score around three goals in this game, facing a Ducks’ team that is giving up an average of 4.00 goals per game. The Ducks’ attack has been up and down this season and it will be down in this game, facing a Chicago team that has played good defense early, only ranking ninth in the league in goals against per game. This Western Conference clash will not be a high-scoring one at all, so the Under is the pick.
