Anaheim vs Winnipeg. NHL match prediction and bets

Current form

Anaheim, having put in a huge amount of effort, was still able to interrupt its losing streak, which reached five games. The team played away to an opponent of its level in the person of Columbus and took advantage of its not-so-best form, snatching a victory in overtime with a score of 4:3. Goalkeeper Gibson made a huge contribution to the success, reflecting 39 shots out of 42. Indeed, the defensive line once again showed itself to be insufficiently reliable, and only due to the efforts of the goalkeeper was it possible to avoid another failure. It is impossible not to mention forward Killorn, who scored twice and gave an assist.

Before that, the Ducks also played on the road, where they were able to cling to points only in a match with Montreal, losing in a shootout (2:3). There were also some defeats, the team was unable to give a worthy rebuff to Ottawa, suffering a defeat with a score of 1:5. This time, Gibson was far from as reliable as in the match with the Blue Jackets. The club long decline led to the fact that it is only in 14th place in the Western Conference standings, with an advantage over its closest opponents of only two points.

Disqualifications and injuries

The Anaheim infirmary remains unchanged. The team continues to play without Susanek and Zegras.

Interesting trends for betting

• On average, Anaheim scores 2.4 goals per game.

The club main problem remains its terrible attacking play.

• The Ducks converted just 15% of their power play attempts.

Due to low activity in the opponent zone, the team also cannot take advantage of the numerical superiority.

Current form

Winnipeg managed to overcome a long slump and returned to its previous level. The team has been steadily earning points for four games in a row, and only one of them had serious problems. The Jets met Vegas and should have won in regulation time, but they were sent off two minutes before the final whistle and allowed the opponent to tie the score. As a result, it came to overtime, where they had to lose with a score of 2:3. What is noteworthy is that before that, the team left no chance for Boston, defeating them with a score of 8:1. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, since almost all of them distinguished themselves with effective actions.

Continuing to play at home, the "fighters" fought with "Montreal" and again demonstrated their attacking potential to the fullest, winning another confident victory (4:2). Then Arniel charges went to visit "San Jose", where they did not play so reliably in defense, which almost led to a disaster, but in the end they managed to snatch a victory in regular time (4:3). Thanks to such successful performances, the club again rose to the first line in the Western Conference table.

Disqualifications and injuries

Winnipeg doesn't have any major roster problems. Gustavsson and Samberg are in the infirmary, and Ehlers is questionable.

Interesting trends for betting

• Winnipeg averages 3.65 goals per game

The club remains one of the most productive in the league.
