Anaheim at Dallas

One of the most physical series thus far in the playoffs. These teams have been battling hard. We dropped our 5-unit pick on Tuesday night to a Ducks win. Anaheim scored three goals on just four shots in the first 15 minutes of that game! Not likely to happen again. Dallas made a game out of it battling back with two goals of their own. Turco is a proud goalie and usually bounces back well after playing poorly. Dallas is 6-2 in its last eight games when playing at home against Anaheim. Steve Ott is the Stars' top face-off man at 58.8% during the regular season. His key face-off wins in this series meant a lot for the team in games 1 and 2. Also keep your eye on Mike Ribeiro in this game. He had 10 points in eight regular season games against Anaheim. Better goaltending, more offense, solid face-off wins and a home game all add up to a Dallas win at home. Take Dallas over Anaheim in this one.
