Anaheim Ducks

Carolina is first in scoring, tied for sixth in goals against, tied for 27th on the power play, and ninth on the penalty kill. Seth Jarvis leads the team in goals and points. In the Canes wins this season, they have scored in bunches, protected leads, and came from behind with ease. Overall, they are a top 10 offense but could get a bit more production from the power play. The Hurricanes are coming off of their most dominant game of this young season, and they will look to keep the good vibes going on both sides of the puck.

Anaheim is tied for fourth in scoring, tied for 27th in goals against, second on the power play, and 25th on the penalty kill. Kreider leads the team in goals and points. The Ducks have won two games in a row and are a confident, rebuilding team. In their two wins this season, they found a way to overcome a pair of two-goal deficits. In the Sharks game, they overcame three two-goal deficits. This team is young and has a lot of fight in them. The defense still needs work, but the special teams can benefit from the Hurricanes going to the box a lot.

Best Bet: Over

The Hurricanes are averaging five goals a game and the defense is trending up. The Carolina offense has either scored from start to finish in games or scored in bunches and took over. The Ducks have been the comeback guys in their last two wins, but the defense is still struggling a bit.
