Anaheim's power play is the reason I'm taking Ducks ML against Vancouver. The Ducks have converted 34.0% of their chances through 14 games, second in the NHL. The Canucks have killed 66.7% through 16 games, ranking 30th.
Cutter Gauthier scored twice on the power play in Sunday's 6-3 win over Ottawa. He scored from below the right circle on a 5-on-3, then from nearly the same spot on the ensuing 5-on-4.
Anaheim has scored at least 5 goals in each of its last 4 games. Vancouver is allowing a league-high 4.50 goals per game this season.
