Resurgent Ducks Look to Stay Hot at Home vs Stars

The Anaheim Ducks have been hit with the injury bug but are embracing a “next man up” mentality ahead of Wednesday’s tilt with the Dallas Stars. Anaheim’s dominance over Dallas at home is well known, evidenced by the Ducks going 6-1 SU in their last seven home games vs Dallas.

Sportsbook opened the Ducks as -130 home favorites with a total of 5.5.

SHARK BITES
  • The Ducks are 0-5 SU in their last five games on a three-game SU winning streak.
  • The total has gone OVER in three of the Stars’ last four games.
  • The total has gone UNDER in the Ducks’ last five games with one day off between games.

The biggest reason for the Ducks’ hot play has been backup goaltender Ryan Miller. Miller, who’s been filling in for the injured John Gibson, has gone 3-0-1 SU at home with a 1.27 goals-against average and .947 save percentage. The Ducks are winners of three straight and have gone 5-1-1 in their last seven to move into third place in the Pacific Division.

Dallas opened a three-game California excursion with a 5-2 loss to San Jose, which was its second loss in the last three contests. The Stars won two of three meetings with the Ducks last season, with Dallas captain Jamie Benn registering a team-high four points in the series a year ago.

Bouncing back after a loss hasn’t been a problem for Dallas. In the Stars’ last eight games coming off a loss, they’re 7-1 SU.
