Anaheim
The Anaheim Ducks got off to an abysmal start to the season, and they’re finally starting to play catch up in the Pacific Division. The Ducks’ record of 7-9-4 is still bad, and it makes things worse when you consider that they’ve gone 6-2-2 over their last 10 games.
Still, Anaheim is just three points out of third place in the Pacific and is looking for a win to close out its four-game road trip.

The Ducks have gotten almost no help from their forwards this year, as Corey Perry leads the team with just 12 points. Ryan Getzlaf’s nine points are second on the team, though he does have four points in his last three games.
Still, Anaheim is next-to-last in the NHL in goals, averaging just 1.85 per game, as well as a shooting percentage at 6.3.
The defense has been the much better group for the Ducks this year. Anaheim is 11th in goals allowed and 1st in penalty kill. Frederik Andersen has played better, and his save percentage is now up to .921.
Tampa Bay
The Lightning halted the New York Rangers’ nine-game winning street Thursday night thanks to a 2-1 victory at home.
Tampa Bay has now beaten the Rangers in five-straight games and seems to be the only team that can slow the Rangers down.
However, Tampa Bay is still discombobulated when it plays teams that aren’t the New York Rangers.
[dfads params=’groups=235&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
The Lightning are 24th in goals, 21st in power play percentage, and 22nd in shooting percentage. However, Tampa Bay’s defense has been pretty solid so far. The Lightning rank 7th in goals allowed and 4th in shots allowed. With a weak offense and a strong defense, Tampa Bay shares a very similar blueprint to Anaheim.
In Tampa Bay’s last nine games, only two have gone over the total of 5. And in their last five games against Western Conference opponents, the Lightning’s totals haven’t gone over 5 goals.

Both teams are struggling to score but have still played solid on defense, and I expect that to continue in this tilt.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: UNDER 5
Anaheim has fared better against the Eastern Conference, but the Ducks are still struggling to find themselves as a team. Meanwhile, the Lightning are having a hard time gaining consistency.
