Slumping Ducks hope to avoid 6th straight loss
By Rob Gerein | December 8, 2009
Could Randy Carlyle be the next NHL coach to get the axe?
If his Anaheim Ducks keep losing, he most certainly will be.
Anaheim enters Tuesday’s game against Pacific division-rival Dallas Stars mired in a five-game losing streak, one of the Ducks’ longest slumps in years.
And tonight they face a team that has beaten them in both meetings this season – 3-1 in Dallas last Thursday, and 4-2 in Anaheim on Oct. 21.
At least oddsmakers are giving the Ducks a fighting chance tonight, as the game is a pick’em in Hockey Betting at Sportsbook.com.
In the Stars’ last game, Jamie Benn and James Neal scored in the first period in a 3-2 Shootout loss to Edmonton Oilers on Saturday afternoon. The Stars lost as -175 home favorites, while the final score slipped under the total of 5.5.
The Ducks lost to Ottawa Senators 4-3 in a shootout as a +130 underdog on Sunday. The seven goals went over the over/under total of 5.5.
Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry each had a goal and an assist for Anaheim.
Dallas is 13-8-8 this season and Anaheim is 10-13-6.
NHL Betting fans may want to bet the Over tonight, as the total has gone over in four of the past six meetings overall, and in five of the past six in Anaheim.
