Blues vs Ducks Betting Prediction
I really don’t trust the Blues and Ducks, especially with the Blues on tired legs, so we aren’t going to have a play on the side. These are both offenses that have had issues all season, and that is going to be the difference here. The Ducks are averaging only 2.43 goals, and they are going to really struggle here. Neither team will reach three goals, and this game is going to stay under the total.
