Anaheim Ducks
Right now, Anaheim sits last in the West with 56 points from Chicago. This situation is caused by a terrible game in defense, which is the worst team in the league in this indicator, which has been especially noticeable recently. At the moment, the “mighty ducks” have a series of 9 defeats, conceding in most matches from 4 goals, which happened in the last away matches against Seattle (1:4), Edmonton (0:6) or Calgary (4:5). .
Arizona Coyotes
Arizona stands out from all the home ice outsiders, but lately they haven’t skipped and the team is playing much like the opposition. Andre Turigny’s side have an equally long losing streak, with 9 matches under their belt. The Desert Dogs also have a lot of problems in defense, which can be clearly seen in past confrontations with Edmonton (4:5), Dallas (2:5), Seattle (1:8, 2:4) and even San Jose (2:7 ).
Forecast
It is known that every team will want to break their unfortunate streak and when it will be possible, if not in a meeting with a similar opponent. Home ice for Arizona is no longer an advantage, but the coveted sum regularly breaks through in the arena in Tempe (8 out of 9 fights so far). This season, the “mighty ducks” have already visited the Mallett Arena and then they managed to win with the required sum – 5:1.
