Spread Analysis
Anaheim has proven resilient this season despite a negative goal differential, and the model likes them to keep this within a single goal. While Edmonton won 41 games, they rarely blow teams out in this series, and the Ducks’ 43-33-6 overall record shows they can hang with the heavy hitters. Taking the Ducks at +1.5 provides safety in what historically plays out as a tight, one-score postseason contest.
Totals Analysis
Playoff hockey usually tightens up the neutral zone, and with both teams coming off a low-scoring series opener, the under 7 looks like the smart move. Edmonton's defense has stabilized to allow 3.28 goals per game, while Anaheim struggles to generate consistent offense on the road. The 47% model probability for the under aligns with the typical postseason drop in high-danger scoring chances.
