St. Louis Blues vs. Anaheim Ducks Prediction
I’m on the Blues here. I think the Ducks’ hot run is starting to fall apart as the losses have started to pick up again and again, and the Blues are starting to find themselves again. St. Louis just picked up a road win in a tough environment in L.A., and the Blues are starting to heat up and also have a huge head-to-head edge over the Ducks in this matchup. I’ll roll with St. Louis in this one.
