This is a Free #NHL play on CHI@ANA to go OVER the total.

The Blackhawks out-shot the Ducks 25-15 through the first two periods of Game 1, and the home team was quite fortunate to go into the second intermission with a two goal lead. Frederik Andersen stopped 32-of-33 shots overall, facing more rubber in Game 1 of this series than he saw in any previous playoff game. Chicago isn't going to let up here in Game 2, and I think they'll put at least a couple past Andersen. That might not be enough though, as Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf are likely to make life difficult for Corey Crawford as well. The Ducks have only seen fewer than five goals twice in 10 games this post-season, and these two teams have combined to score at least five goals in five of the last seven head to head meetings. Chicago has seen the total go over at a rate of 6-0-1 in their last seven Conference Finals games. These are two of the best offensive teams in the league, and we could see a bit of a barn burner in California tonight.

Take OVER.
