If you’re looking for a puck line bet, I’d suggest going with the Ducks to cover. Even in the event of a Kings victory, this game is expected to be closely fought, and the Ducks should cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
