Anaheim Outlook

The Anaheim Ducks are coming off a 3-2 loss to the Washington Capitals. There was plenty of animosity in the game. Radko Gudas placed a hard hip check on Nick Ritchie, knocking him out of the game. Nicolas Deslauriers engaged Gudas later in the game giving him a pounding in an uneven fight. Erik Gudbranson and Hathaway fought later in the game as well. Despite the effort, the Ducks came up short a goal.

This is the third contest of the season. Anaheim took the first contest 7-4 in October. The Ducks then lost their annual black Friday game 3-0 to the Jets. This is the final meeting between these two teams this season.

Jakob Silfverberg and Ryan Getzlaf lead the team with 10 goals.

Roster News:

Sam Carrick was recalled from San Diego.

Anthony Stolarz was reassigned to the Gulls.

Nick Ritchie will be out 6 to 10 weeks with a sprained left MCL according to Bob Murray.

Winnipeg Outlook

Since the Jets played the Ducks during Thanksgiving week they have gone 1-2-0. They lost 2-1 to the Kings in regulation and split two games against the Dallas Stars. The Jets have 32 points and are currently in fourth place in the Central Division.

Winnipeg is a decent team when playing 5-on-5. They average 2.83 goals per game. Their downfall this season has been their special teams. The power play is 14.9% efficient, which 26th in the league. The penalty kill is 75.7% efficient which is 27th in the NHL.

Nikolaj Ehlers leads the team in scoring with 13 goals.

Kyle Connor – Mark Scheifele – Patrik Laine
