The Anaheim Ducks are coming off a 4-1 loss against the Rangers as they host the Winnipeg Jets at the Duckpond tonight. The Jets have the third best road record in the league and I think they'll keep this a close game.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. The Duck's Style - They may be second in the NHL with their 58 points, but it is more down to winning close games than blowing opponents away. More than half of the Ducks 26 game have been decided by one goal which also is true for all of their last five Ws.
2. Road Warriors - The Jets have picked up 12 of their 21 wins on the road this season and are off a marquee 5-4 SO win at Los Angeles. They're 3-1 over their last four away from home, also defeating the Blackhawks and the Wild in their buildings.
3. X-Factor - The Jets have scored on the power play in five of their last six games, going 7-for-24 on the man advantage.
Selection: This is a play on the Winnipeg Jets +1.5. (8*)
