NHL Betting Preview: Avalanche vs Ducks<\/p>\n
The Colorado Avalanche meet the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center, with face-off scheduled for 22:00 on Tuesday, March 3.<\/p>\n
Goals Look in Short Supply<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t think the Avalanche and the Ducks are going to score too many times. Our prediction is to grab the -104 that there are Under 6.5 goals.<\/p>\n
8 Wins for Avs in Past 10 H2H Games<\/p>\n
Colorado Avalanche have triumphed in their previous three road games. The latest saw them beat Los Angeles Kings 4-2 at Crypto.com Arena. Devon Toews was one of four different players on the scoresheet.<\/p>\n
Anaheim Ducks last game was a 3-2 (SO) victory over Calgary Flames at Honda Center. That means it\u2019s now been eight home wins on the spin. Cutter Gauthier was able to score both goals. Goalie Lukas Dostal made a total of 32 saves (.941).<\/p>\n
Head-to-Head Statistics<\/p>\n
It was the Ducks who came out on top when they last played the Avs. At Ball Arena, a 2-1 win was recorded. The past 10 clashes between these teams have seen eight Avs wins.<\/p>\n
