Anaheim Ducks vs Pittsburgh Penguins: The Penguins will fight

Prediction for the NHL Anaheim Ducks vs Pittsburgh Penguins match, which will take place on January 12. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Anaheim's game leaves a lot to be desired. In their last five games, the Ducks have only managed to score four points, beating Philadelphia with a score of 4:1 and Detroit in a penalty shot. The other three games were 1:3 defeats to Vegas, 2:4 to Colorado and 1:4 to the Rangers.

Anaheim is in second place in the Pacific Division table, two points behind the higher-ranked Vegas. The Ducks are fortunate that their primary rival (Golden Knights) has also lost lately. Otherwise, the difference between them would be much more significant.

Before last week's game against Dallas, in which Pittsburgh lost ridiculously 2:3, they had won ten games in a row. After that defeat, the Penguins were obviously enraged. Leading 2:0 and conceding three pucks was just awful. As for the Penguins' position in the Metropolitan Division table is in fourth place and has four points less than third-placed Washington.

Anaheim is a great and solid club, but lately, it has not inspired confidence. The same goes for Pittsburgh, who have lost only one game in their last five away matches. Prediction: Pittsburgh will win the game.
