The Blackhawks are 2-4-0 at home this year, while the Ducks are 3-3-2 on the road. Anaheim has won three of their last four games and is coming off of a huge win against Dallas on Monday, so they will be on a back-to-back here. Neither team has done a good job of scoring goals to start this season, but Anaheim is playing very well right now and I am going to take a shot on them and the plus money.
