Total: 5.50 | 107.00 Over
Result: Win
Vancouver has allowed only 16 goals during regulation in its last nine games. The Canucks face a depleted Ducks team that not only is without Ryan Getzlaf, but who lost second-leading scorer Ondrej Kase on Tuesday after he was knocked out. The Ducks rank 30th in power play goals.
The Canucks have improved their offense, but they were the second-lowest scoring team in the NHL last season.
This is an emotional game for the Ducks. Not only are they out to snap a four-game losing streak, but they'll have veteran Ryan Miller in net. Miller played the previous three seasons for the Canucks where he posted a 2.69 GAA and .914 save perecentage. Miller was superb in his last start making 44 saves in a 2-1 shootout loss this past Saturday at San Jose.
Only once in the last seven meetings between these two teams in Anaheim has the total gone Over.
