Vancouver is home, but has depth and scoring problems. The Canucks remain without Ryan Miller due to a lower-body injury that's sidelined him for three games while captain Henrik Sedin is scoreless over a seven-game stretch playing through a leg injury. The Canucks have just 13 goals over their last eight games and were shut out for the fourth time in 11 outings during Monday's 5-0 home loss to Los Angeles. They're averaging a meager 23.3 shots over a three-game span and are on an 8-18 run. Anaheim plays outstanding defense at #10 in the NHL in goals scored, and is riding a three-game win streak, off 1-0 wins at Calgary and Edmonton. The Ducks have allowed two goals the last three games and are 38-18 in the third game of a three-in-four situation. The Ducks will continue their recent success against Vancouver, a 10-3 run overall, plus Anaheim has scored 38 goals while going 8-1-1 in its last 10 visits here. Play Anaheim.
