Anaheim at Columbus

The Anaheim Ducks are off to a slow start especially on the road where they have failed to get a point in three tries. They have, in fact, not even come close as they have been dreadful in the three games getting outscored 13-2. What is even more remarkable is the time they are spending on the opponent's side of the ice. The Ducks have allowed 145 shots on goal in the three games, approaching an average of 50 per contest while they have only attempted 72, or 24 a game. They are getting out shot by a 2-1 ratio and few games are going to be won like that. Columbus has won their two road games, but have surprisingly lost their two at home. They should turn the tide in tonight's game as their sweet spot has been at home as a favorite from -110 to -150 where they are 8-1 in their last nine. The Ducks road woes elongated to a 10-28 mark in their last 38 as a road dog. I like Columbus in this one.
