The Ducks are riding a five-game winning streak, and doing so surprisingly through defense. Anaheim is giving up an average of 1.6 goals a game during its last five games. Talented goalie Lukas Dostal has emerged from a slump to play well again. Dostal stopped 42 shots in the Ducks' 2-1 road shootout win against the Avalanche two days ago as a $2.55 underdog. Anaheim is going to have to guard against a letdown in this spot. The Ducks have been forced to become more defensive-minded because of injuries. Their leading point producer, Leo Carlsson, is out while Troy Terry and Mason McTavish are day-to-day. Terry has more points than any Seattle player. The Kraken rank 25th offensively and 28th in shots on goal. They are much better defensively, ranking 11th. Seattle is averaging 2.7 goals a game during its past eight games. Take the UNDER.
