The Anaheim Ducks (28-22-3) face the Vancouver Canucks (17-31-5) in a Pacific Division matchup where the Ducks look to continue their strong recent form against a Canucks team mired in a dismal slump. Anaheim has won seven of their last 10 games, driven by efficient scoring and solid goaltending, while Vancouver has dropped 14 of their last 15, plagued by injuries and defensive breakdowns. This is the second meeting this season, with Vancouver winning the opener 5-4 on November 27, 2025, thanks to a multi-point effort from Elias Pettersson. With major absences on both sides, expect a low-scoring, grind-it-out affair at Rogers Arena, where Vancouver’s home crowd might provide a spark, but Anaheim’s road resilience could secure the victory and even the series.
