Washington has moved into first place playing strong defense, allowing four goals the last two contests. But they fly across the country for this game and the offense has scored just seven goals the last four road games. They face an Anaheim Ducks squad that is all about defense, ranked sixth in goals allowed, fifth in penalty killing, while the offense is #22 in goals allowed, #23 on the power play. The Ducks have thwarted 22 consecutive short-handed opportunities and 31-of-32 overall. Anaheim is 41-20-10 UNDER the total following a victory, plus 20-7-1 UNDER when their opponent scores five goals or more in their previous game. Take this one to stay UNDER.
