The home team has won 5 of the last 6 games in this series and the favorite has won 6 of the last 8 meetings. The under has hit in 20 of the last 32 games in this series as well. My pick is with the Ducks as they are a tough team at home and in an evenly-matched game, the edge always goes to the team with the home ice.
