Western Conference Finals Betting Tips: Anaheim Ducks Vs. Nashville Predators

Will history repeat itself as the Nashville Predators and Anaheim Ducks meet in the Western Conference final? Last spring, the Predators defeated the Ducks in a seven-game opening-round series that saw Anaheim squander a 3-2 series lead.
The Edmonton Oilers were four minutes away from a 3-2 series lead over Anaheim and blew it. Now they must stave off elimination at home, while the St. Louis Blues look to do likewise on the road, down 3-2 to the Nashville Predators.
If history repeats itself, then the Calgary Flames are in trouble. Two springs ago, the Anaheim Ducks whipped them in a five-game Stanley Cup series. It will be a more difficult task to beat Calgary again this year.
