(NHL) Anaheim vs. St. Louis,
10/29/2015 4:00 PM, Score: 1 - 2
Point Spread: 1.50 | -195.00 Anaheim (Away)
Result: Win
Point Spread: 1.50 | -195.00 Anaheim (Away)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Anaheim Ducks +1.5.
The Anaheim Ducks will hope to wrap up their five-game road trip on a positive note after losing each of the first four. They have just one win for the season but this should be a good time to face the St. Louis Blues.
St. Louis has plenty of injuries with Patrik Berglund (shoulder), Jaden Schwartz (ankle), Kevin Shattenkirk (lower body) and Paul Stastny (foot) all set to miss the game. It ended a two-game skid with a 2-0 win against Tampa Bay Tuesday but lost the shots 24-26. An underperming power play unit that has gone 0-for-11 over the last three games must be a concern for coach Ken Hitchcock.
Goals on the man advantage won't come easy tonight either as they'll face an Anaheim penalty kill that has a 88.9% success rate this season. The Ducks struggles have come on the other end of the ice, both on the power play and 5v5. Each of the two last defeats have been one-goal losses though, to Chicago and Dallas, and they actually out-shot the Blackhawks 39-24 in the 1-0 overtime loss on Oct.24.
The Ducks have won five of the last six head-to-head meetings, and they have way too good of a team to struggle for much longer. My money is on the Ducks to kickstart their season this very evening.
Take ANA.
