Against Detroit, Anaheim struggled to slow the Red Wings’ attack and it proved costly in the loss. The Ducks saw the shots even at 10 in the opening period and neither side lit the lamp, keeping the game scoreless after 20 minutes of play. In the second period, Anaheim was outshot 16-7 and outscored 3-2 to trail by that margin at the second intermission. After giving up the opening goal, Cutter Gauthier knotted the game for the Ducks with his 12th goal of the year at 7:35 off assists from Beckett Sennecke and Jacob Trouba. The Ducks trailed 2-1 before Chris Kreider tallied his 10th of the year at 14:54 off assists from Jackson LaCombe and Drew Helleson to knot the score.

Minnesota held a 15-5 advantage in shots in the second period and scored the lone goal of the stanza for a 1-0 advantage after 40 minutes.

Ducks vs. Wild Pick
Ducks vs. Wild Puckline Pick
- Ducks +118 (4 units)
We have an Anaheim team that can light the lamp with the best teams in the league, but their goaltending hasn’t quite been up to par this season. Meanwhile, Minnesota has struggled to light the lamp, even with Kaprizov leading the way. Losing Rossi is a blow for a Wild team that is in the bottom quarter of the league in goals per game this season. We saw Minnesota struggle to do much offensively against a San Jose squad that has had their struggles slowing opposing teams this season when it comes to denting the twine. Minnesota is just 4-3-3 at home on the year and the Ducks should rebound from their two-game skid. Take Anaheim, thanks to their offensive firepower as they pick up the win here.
Sharks vs. Wild Over/Under Pick
- Over 6.5 (4 units)
Anaheim enters this game having gone over the total in 10 of their 17 games this season. The Ducks have an average of 7.18 goals per game this season and that number bumps up to an average of 7.55 goals per contest in their seven road games. Minnesota has seen the over post a 9-8-1 mark in their 18 games on the season. On the season, the Wild has an average of 6.06 goals per contest and that number bumps up to 6.50 goals a night on home ice in their nine tilts. We know Anaheim can score, but they give up their share of goals as well. As a result, this one has 4-3 or 5-3 written all over it, which would put this game over the number.
