The Arizona Coyotes try to build off a victory over the defending Stanley Cup champions when they host the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday.
In their last game, they were able to achieve a little history. Arizona defeated St. Louis 3-1 on Tuesday to snap a three-game losing streak while recording the 1,300th victory in Winnipeg/Phoenix/Arizona franchise history, and they now sit two points behind first-place Vegas in the Pacific Division.
Their opponent is a familiar foe in the Anaheim Ducks. The Ducks haven’t enjoyed the success the Coyotes have had this season. Anaheim shares last place in the Pacific with San Jose after a 5-2 loss at Vegas on Tuesday, and is 2-4-1 in its last seven games and 6-12-2 on the road this season.
The clubs split the first two meetings this season with Arizona prevailing 4-3 in a shootout Nov. 27 and the Ducks winning 2-1 on Oct. 3.

There are a lot of things to keep an eye on in this game. I think the score is going to be closer than you might expect. Keep an eye on the special teams, Anaheim is 10-for-10 on the penalty kill over its last four games while the Coyotes are 21-for-23 in the past eight contests.
Anaheim Ducks
It’s hard to win when you don’t score goals. And the Ducks are unable to score goals. They currently sit tied for last in the division with a meager 103 goals for on the year.
Silfverberg leads the club with 14 goals and 27 points after scoring Tuesday. Rickard Rakell and captain Ryan Getzlaf have 10 goals and 25 points apiece with Rakell missing the last four games due to an upper-body injury and Getzlaf going pointless in his last seven contests.
John Gibson should get the start in net. His stats on the season are: 12-15-3 W-L | 2.89 GAA | 0.908 SV% | 1 SO
