Winnipeg has an impressive road record (12-5-4) because of great defense, seventh in the NHL in goals allowed. They come off a 5-4 victory at the defending Stanley Cup champion Los Angles Kings last night. Winnipeg's next victory will be Paul Maurice's 500th as an NHL head coach. That defense can keep them in any game, either to steal a road win or lose close games by a goal. Six of their last 10 games have been decided by a single goal. They face an Anaheim team that is just 5-4-1 the last 10 games despite a long homestand. Anaheim ranks just 17th in the NHL in goals scored, 16th in goals allowed, with bottom 10 specialty units. They were favored over the Rangers the last game and lost 4-1. More than half of Anaheim's games have been decided by one goal. Anaheim has gone 5-4-1 with each victory coming by one goal, and the last four decided in overtime or a shootout. The road team is 4-1 when these teams meet, and the value is with Winnipeg to win or lose by one goal. Play Winnipeg on the Puckline.
