Vancouver at Anaheim

The Vancouver Canucks are 5-2-3 to start the season, gaining .650 potential points (9th most), but losing all three games that went to extra time. Kevin Lankinen (5-0-2) has counted for all five wins, and he's likely to start tonight. Anaheim has just 10 standing points in 11 games, and are near the bottom of the Pacific Division. The Ducks problems are mostly on offense as they have not topped the three-goal mark in eight straight games. That puts a lot of pressure on the backend of the ice. The other problem is that the Ducks have lost seven straight times against the Canucks, and scored just nine goals in the last six. I like Vancouver to roll.
