Anaheim Ducks vs Pittsburgh Penguins Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tuesday, 12/09/25

The Anaheim Ducks and Pittsburgh Penguins are set for a Tuesday night matchup in a meeting between 2 of the most surprising teams in the NHL so far in 2025. Year 1 of the Joel Quenneville era in Anaheim is off to a sensational start, as the Ducks pace the Pacific division with 37 points. The Ducks can score in a wide variety of ways; they rank second in the NHL in scoring at 3.59 goals per game. Anaheim has excelled at 5-on-5 hockey; it is putting up strong numbers despite ranking 18th in the league with a powerplay clicking at an 18.8% clip. If Pittsburgh’s Tristan Jarry gets the start in net, it will be his seventh straight. That could put the Ducks in a solid position to find the back of the net.

On the other side, the Penguins entered the new season with relatively low expectations but have gotten off to a strong 14-7-6 start. They return home following a 3-game road trip, and the Ducks present a tough challenge. Pittsburgh owns the league’s best powerplay with a conversion rate of 33.3%. But how sustainable is that? The Ducks have been more effective 5-on-5, while the Penguins have perhaps been too reliant on the man advantage. Make it a small play, but consider backing Anaheim on the road.
