Bruins vs. Ducks Preview
My next pick is Bruins ML at the Ducks. Boston is rolling right now, winning three in a row. They've outscored opponents 17-5 during this stretch. In net, Jeremy Swayman has been fantastic, ranking 7th in Goals Saved Above Expected. The Bruins are allowing only 2.29 goals per game this year, which is tied for 2nd in the league.
Meanwhile, Lukas Dostal hasn't been nearly as good, coming in at 25th in Goals Saved Above Expected. With the advantage in goal, the Bruins are set up nicely to extend their winning streak.
We should also note that if we look under the hood at advanced metrics, we see that Boston is 8th in xGoals%, while the Ducks are 23rd.
The Ducks are even dealing with a pair of key injuries, with both Cutter Gauthier and Mikael Granlund day-to-day with upper-body injuries. If they're not available for this game, that would test the depth of the Ducks in this spot. Considering that we can get the Bruins at a reasonable price as a slight road favorite, they're worth a look in this spot.
Pick: Bruins ML (-112, DraftKings)
