The Ducks have held their own in spite of the fact that they have been on the road for a good share of the season. They now head to New York to face the Rangers in game six of a seven-game road trip. New York has only played three at home where they have not fared so well at 1-1-1 on the season. The Rangers have had all sorts of problems winning the games that they are supposed to win, and have now gone 0-6 as a favorite in their last six - a sure sign of an over-valued team. Over a longer period, they now stand in at a dismal 6-14 at home as a favorite of -110 to -150. The Ducks are now a robust and profitable 15-6 in their last 21 vs. a losing team, and 5-1 in their last six vs. the Atlantic, and have been on the alert vs. teams that score big in their previous game with a 6-2 mark vs. an opponent that scored 5+ in their last outing. An under-the-radar dog vs. complacent favorite spells a road win for Anaheim in this one.
