Nashville Predators vs Anaheim Ducks Prediction

With losses in four of their last five games, the Ducks are quickly playing themselves out of the wild card conversation. However, there’s still some hope left if they can start racking up the points. We can’t quite say the same for the Predators. Also, the Predators have just eight road wins on the season, so seeing them as a road favorite just doesn’t make much sense. The Ducks have won three of the last four games against the Predators, which includes a 5-2 beatdown in January as a +180 underdog. The value is with the Ducks and the plus money.
