Goals have dried up for Montreal and Anaheim this week, but the books are still setting the total too high.

The Montreal Canadiens are right back in action tonight against another California-based team as they welcome the Anaheim Ducks to the Bell Centre.
Both clubs have struggled to put the puck in the net over the past week, and I’m predicting a low-scoring affair in my Ducks vs. Canadiens predictions and NHL picks for Sunday, March 15.
Ducks vs Canadiens prediction
Ducks vs Canadiens best bet: Under 6.5 (+110)
The Montreal Canadiens have boasted one of the NHL’s strongest offenses this season, ranking second in goals per game (3.51), while the Anaheim Ducks have also had a respectable attack.
However, both clubs have struggled to put up much offense this week. Montreal is averaging just 2.67 gpg over its last three outings, while Anaheim has scored 2.00 gpg over its last four.
The Habs have cashed the Under in three straight, while the Ducks have done so in three of their last four.
Both teams will also have tired legs in the second half of a back-to-back.

Ducks vs Canadiens same-game parlay
The Canadiens have been hot at home, winning 10 of their last 14 games at Bell Centre, while the Ducks have struggled on the road with just one victory in their last five as the visitors.
This marks the fourth road game for Anaheim, so the tank is running on fumes.
