The Vancouver Canucks and Anaheim Ducks are set for a showdown at the Honda Center on Tuesday as NHL action heats up.
Vancouver is in the middle of a three-game road swing, aiming to find its stride after a mixed start. While last season saw them as a formidable force, this year’s results have been inconsistent. The Canucks have lost only three times in regulation but have struggled in overtime, dropping three out of four OT contests. They bounced back from a tough 6-0 home loss to the Devils with a hard-fought 3-2 win on the road against the Sharks last Saturday.
On the other side, the Ducks are looking to notch their fifth win of the season. Anaheim recently wrapped up a tough four-game road trip, finishing with a 1-2-1 record that included a solid win over the Islanders and a close 2-1 OT loss to the Penguins on Thursday. Returning to home ice, they suffered a disappointing 4-2 defeat against the Blackhawks on Sunday. As a young and promising squad, the Ducks are hoping to make some noise this season.
