Anaheim has just stopped the rot and is twenty-seventh

The Ducks are 5-6-0 after winning 5-4 in Philadelphia on Saturday. Lukas Dostal made 28 saves. That ended a run of five defeats, three of them on a road trip through New York and New Jersey. They conceded four or more in four of the five.

Troy Terry is out until 21 November with a hip problem and Ryan Poehling until 25 November. Pavel Mintyukov’s return date has slipped to 29 October, so he misses this one. Ian Moore is gone until 8 November.

Dostal has eight starts at a .880 and Ville Husso three at a .886. Neither has been the problem: Anaheim has scored 32 in eleven and conceded 37.

How they compare

Anaheim finished thirty-four points clear of Vancouver last season. It scored seven tenths of a goal a game more. The Canucks had the better power play. Their penalty kill at 71.5 per cent was the worst in the league.

Vancouver is thirty-second and has gone ten games without a win

The Canucks are 2-10-1 with a goal difference of minus twenty-three, the worst in the NHL by four. They are 0-9-1 across their last ten. The last win was 4-1 over Calgary on 3 October. On Sunday they lost 4-2 to Minnesota at home. Seventeen shots, all night.

Thatcher Demko is out until around 21 December after hip surgery. Kevin Lankinen is 1-7-0 with a .812. Leevi Meriläinen has a .912 across six starts, a hundred points of save percentage better. Meriläinen stopped 30 of 34 on Sunday.

Mackenzie MacEachern is on injured reserve and Akil Thomas is out until 9 November. Jack Thompson was placed on waivers on Sunday. Vancouver has conceded fifteen in its last three games.

Vancouver has won four of the last five, and four cleared 6.5

Vancouver leads the all-time series 74 wins to 66. It has won four of the last five, three of them at Honda Center.

Those five produced 7, 8, 2, 9 and 8 goals, an average of 6.8. Four of the five cleared 6.5, and the exception was a 2-0, so the range is wide.

Team news

Who starts in goal is an open question. Vancouver Canucks has split between Meriläinen (6 starts, .912) and Lankinen (7, .812), and Anaheim Ducks has split between Dostal (8 starts, .880) and Husso (3, .886). Form and selection are different questions, and only one of them is settled before the morning skate.

We keep the rest of the league on our NHL injury report.

Players to watch

Leevi Meriläinen, Vancouver. A .912 behind the worst defensive record in the league, and 30 saves on Sunday in a losing cause.

Lukas Dostal, Anaheim. Eight starts at a .880, and the man in net when the losing run ended on Saturday.

Quinn Hughes, Vancouver. Carrying a blue line that has conceded fifteen in three games and sixty on the season.

Score prediction

Anaheim Ducks 4-3 Vancouver Canucks. Anaheim is at home against the only club in the league that has gone ten games without a win.

Canucks vs Ducks prediction

Anaheim is the side we would take. It is at home. It has just ended its own bad run. Vancouver has conceded fifteen in three games and sixty in thirteen, and a Canucks side that mustered 17 shots at home on Sunday is not one to back on the road.

The case for Vancouver is the series. It has won four of the last five, three of them in Anaheim. Meriläinen’s .912 is the best rate in the game if he dresses. Our lean: Anaheim, and the over. The last five meetings produced four overs at 6.5, and Vancouver has allowed four or more in each of its last four games.

The NHL power rankings puts both clubs against the other 30, and the rest of Tuesday’s games sits on the NHL schedule.
