Team News
It appears to be too deep into the season to suggest that the Canucks could make a late charge for a playoff spot. But, their recent form in the NHL has been extremely encouraging. They come into this game having won five of their last ten, which includes a run of two straight victories.
At home, they have gone 13-17-1 this term, but recent showings could see them improve that record before the end of the season. They picked up a shootout victory in Vancouver against the Nashville Predators in their most recent game.

This has been a season to forget for the Ducks, as they remain toward the bottom of the Western Conference. They have picked up just 50 points this term, which is only better than the Chicago Blackhawks. The Ducks come into this game in relatively solid form by their standards, as they have won four of their last ten.
However, no team has allowed more goals than the Ducks this term, and that weak defensive line was evident once again in their previous game. Anaheim was well beaten on the road on Tuesday evening, as they fell to a 5-2 loss against the Seattle Kraken.
Picks
We expect fatigue to play a role in this game, with the Ducks having played just 24 hours earlier. Therefore, we expect the Canucks to maintain their fine winning sequence by landing a third straight victory.
