The Anaheim Ducks will be looking to make it two straight wins when they pay a visit to the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday night. This will be the second meeting between these two teams in less than a week. The Canucks won the first meeting by a score of 6-5 in overtime. I think we could see another high-scoring game between these two on Tuesday. The Ducks are averaging 3.5 goals per game, which is 9th best in the NHL. They are averaging 3.79 goals against per game, which is third-worst in the league. The Canucks are the worst in the league defensively, averaging a scary 4.50 goals against per game.
Both projected starting goalies for this game have GAA’s above 3.30 and sub .900 SVP’s. All signs are pointing towards another high-scoring outing between these two teams. The last four games the Ducks have played have all gone over the projected game total of 6.5. Give me the over in this one.
Ducks vs. Canucks prediction: Over 6.5 (-145) available at time of publishing. Playable to -150.
