Two sides from different conferences square off as New York Rangers, the leaders of the Metropolitan Division in the Eastern Conference take on Anaheim Ducks, a team struggling at the foot of the Pacific Division in the Western Conference.
The Rangers have 19 wins this term alongside seven defeats but the problem for the home side would be their recent run of form. Four out of their seven defeats have come in their previous eight games which could be a concern for the hosts.
With just six points separating them and the Islanders, the Rangers would want to brush aside their wretched streak and get back to winning ways against an already struggling outfit.
Anaheim Ducks, on the other hand, have just 10 wins and 17 losses, dumping them at the foot of the table. Having scored just 2.59 goals per game and conceding 3.41 goals per game, the Ducks' problems are evident for everyone to see. On a run of three consecutive defeats in their previous three clashes, the Ducks will have to change their tactics to upset the Rangers.
