The Ducks are coming into this NHL game as the underdogs with the current best odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. They have been playing really well recently on a 3 game winning streak as they have started to heat up. Their defense and goalkeeping has been great as well, only allowing 3 goals in their last 3 games. The Blues had a very hot start to the season but they have lost 2 of their last 4 games and are bound to regress a bit at some point. The best value on this game is to bet on the Ducks to win at home here.
