Premium Pick

The Ducks look to wrap up the series and advance to the Western Conference Finals tonight. They should do it without too much trouble. Vancouver just doesn't have it in them to fight back. They have now lost five of their last seven games and are averaging just 1.8 goals per game in the playoffs. Anaheim is playing better on offense and defense. In the playoffs they are averaging 3.2 goals per game while allowing just 1.8. The Ducks are now 30-17 this season vs. wining teams. They match up well against Vancouver's strength (defense) as they are 25-12 vs. good defensive teams (those allowing 2.5 or fewer goals per game). Anaheim is 16-6 in their last 22 playoff games when leading a series. Take them to close things out tonight at home.
