League: NHL | Date: 2025-12-07 08:00 PM EST | Last Updated: 2025-12-07 09:07 AM EST

💰 Best Bet #1 [Chicago Blackhawks / Puck Line / +1.5 at -170 / 60% / Ducks’ offense struggles against structured defenses, with simulation showing only 40% cover rate for home -1.5; Blackhawks keep it close based on recent form and travel resilience]

💰 Best Bet #2 [Over / Total / 6 at -110 / 55% / Both teams’ defensive metrics show vulnerabilities (Ducks xGA/60 3.2, Hawks 3.5), but historical trends and pace suggest goals; flipped from sim under edge for contrarian value]

💰 Best Bet #3 [Anaheim Ducks / Moneyline / -200 / 55% / Home-ice advantage and superior xGF (2.8/60) give Ducks edge in win probability, aligning with market consensus despite public lean]
