On Thursday, the Anaheim Ducks will be going on the road to face the Vancouver Canucks, who are 5-3-0 at home so far this season.
Earlier this month, the Canucks beat the Ducks in Anaheim by the score of 2-1 in overtime. The Ducks were 1-for-1 on the power play in that game, but the Canucks' 35-29 shooting advantage helped them pick up the win.
Canucks goaltender Ryan Miller is 3-3-0 against the Ducks in his career with a shutout, a 2,56 GAA and a .923 save percentage. Center Henrik Sedin has seven goals and 32 assists in 52 games against Anaheim, while Daniel Sedin has been able to accumulate 41 points in 51 games against them.
On Tuesday night, the Ducks lost their third consecutive game when they were defeated 4-3 in the shootout by the Calgary Flames on the road. They lost that game despite the fact that they were 2-for-3 on the power play and outshot the Flames 27-19.
The Ducks have done well with the extra man so far this season and currently have a 20 percent power play percentage. Center Ryan Getzlaf leads the team in points right now by scoring five goals and providing a team-high 12 assists. Goalie Frederik Andersen has had a pretty good start to the year by going 7-2-4 through 14 starts with a shutout and a .920 save percentage.
