This is a 1* Free Play on the Anaheim Ducks.

The Stars opened the season by going 11-2-1 on the road, but they've since gone just 1-4-3 away from friendly confines while giving up an average of 3.9 goals. Dallas has in fact surrendered six goals in its last two road games, which doesn't bode well for the team with games at San Jose on Saturday and Los Angeles on Tuesday. To make matters worse, Dallas' vaunted offensive unit has gone ice cold of late, totalling just five tallies in the last three games. Goaltender Antti Niemi has lost four straight on the road and has a poor .857 save percentage in his last three; Kari Lehtonen is 0-1-0 with a 7.67 GAA in his last three road starts. The power play has also been a glaring weak point for the Stars, going just 2 for 34 in its last 13 road games. The Ducks will be looking to take advantage and to say this is a "revenge" game would be a bit of an understatement as the Stars won both trips to Anaheim last your and posted a 4-3 home victory on October 27th. The Ducks are 3-2-0 on a season-high eight-game homestand and come in off a 4-1 win over Ottawa on Wednesday. After a slow start to the season, Anaheim has looked a lot better of late, they've scored at least three goals three times during the current homestand and have surrendered 14 non-shootout goals during a 6-2-1 stretch. Note that Ducks goaltender has posted a 1.76 GAA over his last four starts. We definitely think the DUCKS are worth a second look in this spot and at this price.
