Anaheim Mighty Ducks

Goalie Lukas Dostal is 5-6-0 with a 4.06 GAA and a .884 save percentage. In the last game, Brett Leason scored the lone Ducks goal with an assist from Ilya Lyubushkin, yet despite this they are on a five-game losing streak.

Anaheim has had a difficult past week, losing five straight and their last seven road games. They boast a power ranking of 16 and an 11-19 record, and are ranked 29th in offense and 26th in defense. In their most recent game, Brett Leason scored the lone goal with an assist from Ilya Lyubushkin, while goalie Lukas Dostal saved 34 of the 39 shots that he faced.

Alex Lyon is 4-3-0 in seven games and has a GAA of 2.14 and .932 save percentage. Detroit is looking to break their two-game losing streak with a win over the Ducks, and getting strong performances from both offense and defense could be a key factor in doing so.

Anaheim have lost five straight games, seven consecutive games on the road, and six goals in their last four matches. The Ducks power play success rate is 20%.
