Game Preview
The Anaheim Ducks have been a reliable team in the Western Conference so far this season, winning four of their opening seven games to sit third in the Pacific Division. They also come into this weekend in consistent form after winning each of their last two in the NHL.
The Ducks were excellent in the offensive areas in their latest outing, as they recorded a 7-5 win on the road against the Boston Bruins. Four of their efforts were netted in the final frame. Mikael Granlund was the chief tormentor of the Bruins on the night, as the star scored twice and added three assists.
It has been a miserable start to the 2025-26 season for the Tampa Bay Lightning. They have gone 1-4-2 and they currently sit bottom of the Atlantic Division standings. A sign of their issues has been apparent in recent games after losing each of their last four.
Their poor run of form continued on Thursday after losing 4-2 at home to the Chicago Blackhawks. The Lightning conceded a goal in each of the three periods, with Ryan McDonagh and Jake Guentzel scoring in the loss.
Ducks vs. Lightning Picks
It has been a damning start to the season for the Lightning, and there will be huge pressure on the team in this home fixture. However, we could see them making their home ice advantage count on Tuesday, and they could be an area of value when making Ducks vs. Lightning picks.
