Anaheim Ducks vs. Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction
I’m on the Ducks here. I just think that Tampa Bay is a bit overvalued here based on name brand, but the Lightning just haven’t played well enough to justify this price and I’m not laying this price with Tampa Bay just because they’re due for a win. The Ducks have been a great underdog in spots and I think they can provide some value here. Give me the Ducks in this one.
