Ducks vs Canucks Prediction

In their previous meeting earlier this season, the Canucks won 5-4 on the road and are 9-1 in their last 10 meetings against the Ducks.

In this Ducks vs Canucks Prediction, the Ducks are coming as -141 road favorites. The Ducks have been the far better team this season as the Canucks have been the worst team in all hockey and the weakest home team, with just five wins at home ice. The Ducks are having one of their best seasons in recent years and are 7-1 in their last 8 games, while the Canucks have been on a free fall with a 1-14 record in their last 15 games. The Ducks will also want revenge after losing to the Canucks earlier this season, so I like them on the road in this spot. Take the Ducks on the moneyline.
