Ducks vrs Canadiens over 7


Anyone watching these two lately knows this matchup has track-meet potential written all over it.

First thing - Montreal games have been chaos offensively. They just played a 7-5 game, and that wasn’t some fluke. Their offense can absolutely fill the net, but defensively they give a ton back the other way. That’s exactly the type of profile you want when betting big totals.

Anaheim isn’t exactly a shutdown team either. The Ducks are scoring at a solid clip and when they play at home the pace usually opens up. They push the tempo and generate plenty of shots, which forces opponents to play faster.

Another angle here is both teams average around 3+ goals scored and 3+ allowed per game. When you combine those profiles, you’re basically looking at teams that regularly participate in 6-8 goal type games.

Add in a couple more factors:

  • Montreal defense has been leaky recently
  • Ducks games at Honda Center tend to be wide open
  • Both teams have top-six forwards producing right now
  • Empty net situations become very live in high-scoring games
The market sitting around 6.5-7 tells you oddsmakers already expect offense, but this one has the ingredients to go well beyond that if the first period gets loose.

All it takes is a 2-1 first period and suddenly you’re right on pace.

Projection:
Ducks 5 - Canadiens 3

Bet: Over 7 goals

If the pace shows up early, this could easily turn into one of those 5-4 type NHL games where the total flies over.
