They have been able to maintain this dominant status away from their home building as well with a 24-10 road record against the spread this season. Anaheim has lost five out of their last six road games but have won two straight matchups versus Dallas.

Despite already beating the Stars not long ago in early February, no one believes the Ducks have a remote chance in this one with Dallas garnering just short of 80 per cent of the bets on the puck line and 96 per cent of the bets on the moneyline.
This is a game that the sportsbooks will be really pulling for the Ducks as virtually everyone wins if the Stars do. They are coming off two straight losses to the Jets and Avalanche but return home for this seemingly softball matchup.
