Red Wings at Ducks
(NHL) Red Wings (DET) vs. Ducks (ANA),
Total: 6.50 | -124.00 Under
Result: Loss
The Ducks threw us a curveball on Wednesday when John Gibson didn't get the start in goal against VGK, but Lukas Dostal played admirably, as he has this entire season. Right now, we'd say it doesn't make much difference who is in goal for the Ducks, as both are competent; for the offense, it's another story. That's why we're a bit surprised to see some 6.5s available on the "totals" side tonight, as Anaheim, in particular, can hardly score. A mere 2 goals again on Wednesday in the 3-2 loss to VGK, which pouts Anaheim 8-2-1 "under" across its last eleven games. Only twice in the last nine games have the Ducks scored more than two goals, and in those games, it was only three goals. Detroit gives Alex Lyon (2.78 GAA, .915 saves) a look in the nets tonight after Cam Talbot got the win on Wednesday in Pittsburgh. Defense is the name of the game for Detroit, which has allowed fewer odd-man rushes than any team in the league, and has also gone "under" five in a row. Play Red Wings-Ducks "Under"
