Carey Price and the Canadiens have held on to top spot in the NHL through 22 games and will look to solidify that position during their five-game West Coast road trip. The Habs get the Ducks tonight in the first third of their California tripleheader.
- The total has gone UNDER in 3 of the Canadiens' last 4 games against the Ducks.
- The Canadiens are 7-2 in their last 9 games against teams with losing records.
- The last 7 Ducks’ games have pushed on the OVER/UNDER and have had exactly 5 goals.
That push trend is a weird one and I myself have never before seen one like it. If there was a night for it to be broken, however, it’s tonight. The Canadiens have allowed just 2.14 goals per game heading into their matchup with the Ducks and have allowed more than one goal just one time in their last four games.
Anaheim has had significant issues putting the puck in the net of late and has not had to face a goaltender of Price’s caliber. I’m towards the side of the UNDER this evening but if you can find a prop bet on this game to push on the total, you may want to roll the dice on the value.
