Anaheim Ducks vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction

I can understand why the Canucks are favored, as they’re at home and aren’t mathematically eliminated from playoff contention despite not helping themselves over these last two weeks. The Ducks have already been bounced from the playoff conversation. The Canucks have also won nine of the last 10 games against the Ducks. Still, I’m not laying these prices with a Canucks team that’s lost six of their last nine games and just lost 0-5 as a big home favorite against the Kraken. This line is showing too much respect toward the Canucks and I don’t get it. I’ll take a shot with the Ducks.
