Latest Odds : VEG -220 Total 6
The Ducks were very lackluster last season on offense which put way too much pressure on the defense. Now, the Ducks would like to have some improvement offensively in the game here as they were only able to get 2.56 goals per game last year while converting on the power play at a clip of 14.7%. Defensively the Ducks started to have issues with 3.15 goals allowed and killing off only 77% of the power plays.
With Anaheim they will rely on Ryan Getzlaf, Kevin Shattenkirk, and Jakob Silfverberg for the offensive production. However, all three of them are aging veterans. John Gibson is coming back to lead the Ducks in net, but last year he was pushed to the limit and almost constantly under pressure.
