Our selection is on the Anaheim Ducks to cover the goal spread against the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday at 10:07pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Anaheim is out of the playoff race, but is a big threat to any team right now winning back-to-back games.

The Ducks have a lineup full of young skaters, who are playing without anything to lose right now and its special to watch.

Last month, Anaheim was able to beat Los Angeles on the road in a shootout.

The Kings don't score a lot of goals, which hurts them in games like this that are supposed to be low scoring.

Los Angeles lost to Seattle in its last game and could lose again today.

We're on the Ducks +1.5 goals.
