DUCKS-COYOTES: Anaheim and Arizona meet for the final time of a three-game season series today in Anaheim’s second visit to Mullett Arena. The first-ever meeting between the teams at Mullet Arena Jan. 24 marked the fifth such venue these two organizations will have faced in 29 seasons, including Honda Center (Anaheim, Calif., 1993-present), Gila River Arena (Glendale, Ariz., 2003-22), American West Arena (Phoenix, Ariz., 1996-2003) and Winnipeg Arena (1993-96). The Ducks own an 83-42-25 all-time record vs. the Coyotes, including a 37-24-13 mark in Arizona. Anaheim’s 83 wins vs. the Coyotes franchise is the most against a single club.

Anaheim has earned points in six of their past 10 games in Arizona dating to 2018-19 (4-4-2), including each of the last three. Anaheim took each of the first two games of the 2022-23 series with a 5-2 win Jan. 24 in Arizona and a 2-1 OT win Jan. 28 in Orange County. The Jan. 24 win saw Cam Fowler (2-1=3) and Troy Terry (1-2=3) tie their single-game career highs in points. Fowler and Terry co-lead Anaheim in points vs. the Coyotes this season in the two games to date. John Gibson has helped the Ducks pick up points in 14 of his 18 career appearances vs. Arizona, posting a 9-4-5 record with two shutouts, a 2.43 GAA and a .918 SV%.

He has 4-5=9 points in 10 career games vs. Arizona.
