Result:
WIN

Anaheim is one of the league's elite teams and they'll be facing .500 team here. The Ducks have been on fire and they bring it on both sides of the ice. They do allow a lot of shots on goal and that's an area where Tampa Bay excels (31 per game overall and 32.3 at home). Tampa Bay rarely loses big at home. They are off a huge 8-0 win over Atalnta and we like their momentum here as they'll be up for this matchup. The Thrashers have actually won 3 of they last 7 outright in this series in games played at home. Road favorites off road win by 2+ goals playing back-to-back games have actually lost outright 72% of the time the past five seasons. Look for Tampa Bay to keep it close or win.
