Edmonton is enduring a lackluster season

The club currently sits in 14th place in the conference, trailing the eighth spot by a significant 8 points. In their recent encounter, the team dominated Washington on the road with a score of 5:0, showcasing the brilliance of their key stars, McDavid (4 points) and Draisaitl (3 points).

A dismal stretch for Anaheim
For the Ducks, the season was progressing reasonably well until a series of five consecutive losses struck, a streak they have yet to break. This decline has dropped the team to the 12th position in the Western Conference, although the gap from the playoff zone is only three points. In their last match, Anaheim succumbed to the Los Angeles Kings on their home turf with a score of 2:5. The team needs a victory primarily to regain confidence in their abilities. The club also faces three personnel losses ahead of this confrontation.
