The pressure is mounting on the teams in the playoff hunt in the Western Conference, and that has led to a negative period of form for the Anaheim Ducks, losing each of their last two.
Despite this, their overall recent form remains strong after winning five of their last ten. Anaheim will need to get back on track defensively after underperforming over the last five days, allowing eight regulation goals in losses against the Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers.
