Our Anaheim Ducks vs Pittsburgh Penguins Prediction
Anaheim enters Sunday with plenty of scoring momentum. Gauthier and Carlsson are producing, and the Ducks have scored five or more goals in each of their last seven games. Anaheim's goaltending remains a concern, but the team's offense has overcome those problems recently.
Pittsburgh has struggled at both ends, particularly when trying to keep opponents off the scoreboard. Anaheim's recent scoring form and home-ice advantage give the Ducks the better opportunity to win.
Our pick for Anaheim Ducks vs Pittsburgh Penguins is: Ducks win.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
