Ducks vs. Blackhawks Prediction

I’m on the under here. Not because I trust either side to be stout defensively in this game, but because these two teams have been god awful offensively for the better part of the last couple of weeks and the Chicago Blackhawks even longer. This is just going to be a slopfest for 60 minutes and not one that’s going to be pretty by any stretch. Give me the under here.
