Cutter Gauthier has eight goals in Anaheim's last three games, with hat tricks in a 6-3 win over Ottawa on Sunday and a 5-4 win at Vancouver on Tuesday. The Ducks trailed Ottawa 3-0 after one period and then scored six unanswered. Their power play entered Tuesday second in the league at 34%, went 3 for 3 in Vancouver, and has produced 10 goals on 12 chances over its last three games. Edmonton is 11-2-3, and Anaheim is 7-7-1. The Oilers allow 2.88 goals a game. On Tuesday they gave up three in the second period of a 4-3 shootout loss at New Jersey, which ended a three-game winning streak. Anaheim is scoring 3.6 goals a game across 15 games and has put up five or more in each of its last two. That is enough offense to hang a three-goal night on a team that just conceded that many in a single period. At these odds, our bankroll needs Anaheim to win a little better than one game in three to show a profit. I'm taking the Ducks on the moneyline tonight.
