Money Line: -167.00 Anaheim (Away)

This is a Free #NHL play on the Anaheim #Ducks.

Ladies and gentlemen.. it's DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN this March. If anyone thinks for even a second that The Iceman's recent success is the product of "luck", "chance" or "coincidence"... THINK AGAIN!

March 2013: 89-60 +$10,549
March 2014: 72-48 +$6,058
March 2015: 97-58 +$13,219
March 2016: 46-24 +$12,409

The Ducks are in a heated battle in the Pacific Division, just four points back of first place Los Angeles, with the Sharks just one point back in third place. Every game from this point forward has to be treated like a must win game, and they should be able to make up ground with a win here against a banged up Habs team no longer in playoff contention.
Montreal's season was derailed by an injury to star goaltender Carey Price, and rookie backup Mike Condon has really struggled since. Condon ranks near the botttom of the NHL with a .904 save percentage, and he's 1-5-1 with a 3.40 GAA in his last seven starts. In addition to the injury to Price, the Habs have eight position players on the injury list, most notably star defenseman P.K. Subban.

The Ducks on the other hand are getting stellar goaltending from Jon Gibson, who is 5-2-1 with a 1.91 GAA over his last nine starts, and 2-0 with a 1.44 GAA in two career starts versus Montreal.
The Ducks own the league's best special teams, ranking 1st in power-play percentage as well as penalty kill rate. They've also allowed fewer goals than any other team in the league. They've won seven of the last 10 meetings in this series, and four of their last five at the Bell Centre.

Take ANA.
