Anaheim at Dallas

The Ducks are the antithesis of what is expected from a professional sports franchise. They have been very mediocre at home compiling a 5-6-1-1 mark, but extraordinary on the road where they are 5-2-1. They have not taken a loss (non-shootout variety) on the road since dropping their first two on the road this season. That dates back to October 14. It is hard to go against that fact. Dallas has been their equal in home futility where they have now dropped four of their last five. Tough to buck the odds here with a favored home team that has played poorly on home ice against a road-winning foe, so the dog gets the call here and I'll back the Ducks in this one.
