Anaheim at Dallas

Anaheim is on a long road trip and scuffling on offense, playing their second game in as many nights, at Chicago last night. They lost 1-0, getting shut out for the fifth time in eight games. Anaheim has only six goals, becoming the first team since the 1930-31 New York Americans to be shut out five times in its first eight games. They've tallied only once on 22 power-play chances. Anaheim is #30 in the NHL in goals scored, but their strength is defense ranked #12 in goals allowed. The Ducks prefer a slow pace, on a 6-1-1 run UNDER the total. Anaheim is also 7-0 UNDER when playing on no days rest. Dallas can play any style with a lot of young guns on offense, but the biggest improvement has been the defense at #15 in goals allowed and #1 in penalty killing. Dallas' stout penalty kill could extend Anaheim's woes, as it has killed off 20 of 22 penalties. The UNDER is 6-2 when they play on two days of rest and when these teams meet in Dallas the UNDER is 8-3. Take this one to finish UNDER.
