Anaheim Outlook

Tonight will be the last time the Ducks face the Blues. The Ducks played the Blues on Monday and were tied 1-1 through two periods, but eventually lost 3-1.

As the season comes to an end, the question for the Ducks is how do they play out these final games. It appears the top three draft lottery spots will come down to Anaheim, Buffalo, and New Jersey. The Sabres and Devils both lost last night.
