I like the Anaheim Ducks chances for a victory tonight when they host the Dallas Stars at Honda Center. The Ducks dropped the first 2 meetings between these clubs, falling 6-2 and 4-2, but that was in Dallas. The Ducks are 13-5-2 at home and have won 3 out of their last 4 at Honda Center. John Gibson is expected between the pipes for Anaheim and he is 15-10-7 with a GAA of 2.46 and a .915 SV%. The Stars are expected to counter with Antti Niemi and he is 8-6-4 with a GAA of 2.93 and a SV% of .908. Dallas is 6-10-4 on the road and just 1-5 in their last 6 in Anaheim. Ryan Getzlaf is questionable tonight for Anaheim due to a lower body strain. With or without Getzy, I like the Ducks chances in this one.
Tonight’s pick:
