Ducks vs. Canadiens: Odds, Lines, Picks, and Predictions - December 15, 2022 | NHL Regular Season

The Anaheim Ducks head to Montreal to take on the Canadiens. It's the thrid stop on Anaheim's five-game roadtrip.

This game is a battle between the worst teams in the league and a Canadiens squad struggling to stay relevant.

For the past ten years, the Canadiens have been on the precipice of a Cup, but their window has seemed to close. This season marks the 30th anniversary of the last time Montreal hoisted the Stanley Cup. They missed the playoffs last year and seem doomed for the same fate this year.

Anaheim has been terrible this season. They are in the middle of a rebuild and hope to return to relevancy in a few years, but they have a substantial amount of work to do.

They traded most of their established talent last year at the deadline, moving guys like Josh Manson, Ricard Rakell, and Hapus Lindholm. At the break this year, Troy Terry and John Klingberg will likely be on the block as Anaheim looks for more pieces to build around Trevor Zegras.

Ducks vs. Canadiens Best Picks

Both teams are at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to goals per game, but bettors need to consider the fact that both teams may have their backup goalie in the net.

However, seeing that the line is at (6.5) and not (6), it's a pretty solid bet here. While the defense may collapse in let in ten total goals, I'm leaning towards the trend of inconsistent offense continuing.

Under +6.5 Goals (-122)

Ducks vs. Canadiens Prediction

Anaheim have lost nine of their last ten games, with their only win coming as an extreme upset against the Hurricanes. The Ducks have failed to score a goal in their previous two games, and they only managed one in the game before that.

While a win eventually has to fall their way again, it most likely won't happen here. The Ducks' reign of last place will continue a little longer.

60 Minute Moneyline No Push: Canadiens (-102)
