Why The Ducks Will Cover The Spread

The Ducks are 9-6 and off to a surprisingly good start. Now, they hope to continue their good start against one of the best teams in the NHL. The Ducks have an offense that seems to light up in the third period, with six 3rd-period comebacks through the first 15 games.

Frank Vatrano is off to a torrid start, with 11 goals and five assists while converting on 21.5 percent of his shots. Additionally, he has notched four powerplay goals and three game-winners. Mason McTavish has added seven goals and nine assists while nailing 15.6 percent of his shots. Moreover, he has been exceptional in the faceoff circle, winning 123 faceoffs and losing only 92. Ryan Strome has tallied two goals and  12 assists. Likewise, Troy Terry has had five goals and seven assists, with two powerplay goals. Rookie defenseman Pavel Mintyukov has scored one goal and nine assists., while also leveling 24 hits and blocking 18 shots.

Lukas Dostal will be the goalie in the net and comes in with a record of 5-2 with a 3.15 goals-against average and a save percentage of .910. Ultimately, he looks to bounce back from his last performance on Friday, where he allowed the Philadelphia Flyers to score five goals on 35 shots.

The Ducks will cover the spread if they can maintain possession and get some chances against the Avalanche. Also, they must stay out of the penalty box, which has been difficult this season, as they have the second-most penalties in the league.

Why The Avalanche Will Cover The Spread

The Avalanche are one of the top teams in the league. Thus, they have plenty of playmakers that can make things happen. Their offense still has struggled to score, ranking 18th in goals.

Rantanen has 10 goals and 11 assists, including three powerplay conversions. Additionally, he has won 28 faceoffs and lost 29. MacKinnon has six goals and 12 assists. However, he has only scored on 8.8 percent of his 68 shots. But MacKinnon has only won 97 faceoffs and lost 114. Meanwhile, Makar has four goals and 14 assists, including one powerplay marker. Makar has also blocked 25 shots.

Georgiev has had an inconsistent season, going 8-4 with a 3.10 goals-against average and a save percentage of .890. Therefore, he looks to replicate what he did on Monday and shut down the Ducks.
