The Ducks are 24-9, 11-3 on the road and on a 9-1 run. And we get them as an underdog? Gotta take that. Atlanta hasn't even had that much success at home having lost 6 of 14 games. They defense has allowed 12 goals in the last two games. Both of these teams score (Anaheim 3.4 per game on road vs. 3.5 per game for Atlanta at home). But, Anaheim has much better defense (2.2 per game allowed vs. 2.8 for Thrashers). And, Anaheim is 9-1 vs. teams that outscore their opponents by 0.3+ goals per game this year. Take the Ducks in the rare underdog role against a good but not great team.
