Ducks vs Canucks prediction

The Ducks are going nowhere fast as the losses continue to pile up, and they’ve been shutout 4 times in their last 9 games. Despite back to back losses, the Canucks are 24-9-4 at home this season, and they’ve won 9 of the last 10 games against the Ducks. It’s tough to make a case for the Ducks in their current form, especially when they have nothing to play for at this stage. The Canucks are closing in on a Pacific title, and games like this are gifts to pad the points total. Give me the Canucks and the PL for max betting value.
