The Anaheim Ducks have reclaimed home-ice advantage after defeating the Chicago Blackhawks 2-1 at United Center Thursday. They're now holding a 2-1 lead in the series and I like the Ducks chances of recording an upset tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. The Ducks Winning Mentality - Anaheim has shown some amazing never-say-die attitude throughout the season and came from behind in each game in the first round when they swept the Jets 4-0. The Ducks players sacrifices themselves for each-other in a fashion unmatched by any other team in the playoffs proved by the fact that they've blocked 84 shots so far in this series which can be compared to the Blackhawks 47.

2. Road Warriors - The Ducks are a mighty 9-1 in their last 10 road-games and have won five of the last six meetings at United Center.

3. X-Factor - Anaheim has lost just two of its 12 games in the post-season, both in overtime.

Selection: This is a play on the Anaheim Ducks +1.5 (8*)
