There’s not bad value on the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday even though they’re on the road at Boston. The Ducks away record of 9-8 doesn’t impress you right off the bat but they are 6-1 in their last 7 on the road. The Bruins are 4-5 their last 9 so why do Boston bettors have to pay the -162 on Thursday?
Anaheim Ducks
The Ducks are listed as +138 for this contest which is very appealing. It’s kind of an underdog line set aside for an obviously better team that is on a back-to-back but Anaheim has had a night off heading into this game. Couple that with the fact that they’ve won 4 of the last 5 and scored 4+ in three of those games you’d think the wrong team is favored.

On paper the Ducks offense is pretty bad, ranking 29th in goals and dead last in SOG. Before going on a road trip they did score 17 goals in 4 games but what transpires Thursday on the road? The Ducks have netted just 7 total goals on their recent 3 game road swing and Boston is coming off a shutout…
Boston Bruins
What bettors are asking ahead of Thursday night’s game is what exactly Boston did to become favored by so much on the ML? The Bruins were -185 to Buffalo on Sunday before losing 2-4. To start December Boston also lost 2-4 to Detroit as -193 favorites so don’t let their 11-4 record at TD Garden fool you.

The main reason Boston would be a solid play tonight is if Tuuka Rask dominates the Anaheim offense. It’s hard to bank on that though considering Rask is just 4-3 over his last 7. 4 of 7 opponents have netted 3+ goals against Rask meaning his domination is in question. Oddsmakers have set the line at a modest 5.5.
