Anaheim Ducks vs Boston Bruins: Preview

The Ducks will likely start Lukas Dostal, who's 15-13-4 with a 2.86 GAA and a .911 SV%. He has never played against Boston.

Boston, meanwhile, entered the break on a two-game losing streak and is outside of a playoff spot. The Bruins will start Jeremy Swayman, who's 18-18-4 with a 2.98 GAA and a .898 SV%. In his career against Anaheim, he's 1-0 with a 1.00 GAA and a .966 SV%.

Ducks vs Bruins: Odds & Prediction

Anaheim is a +170 underdog, while Boston is a -220 favorite, with the over/under set at 5.5 goals.

The first couple of games after the break could not be high-level, given some players haven't played in weeks. Boston hasn't played well this season, but Swayman should be able to have a lot of success against this Ducks offense, which has struggled this season.

Look for the Bruins to edge out a home win here in a low-scoring close game, as Dostal and Swayman have both been solid this season.

Prediction: Bruins 3, Ducks 2
