Anaheim Mighty Ducks
The Anaheim Ducks are currently experiencing a disappointing season characterized by a struggling offense. They have only been able to score an average of 2.57 goals per game, placing them among the worst in the league. The top two lines, consisting of Frank Vatrano, Troy Terry, and Adam Henrique, have been the leading scorers with a total of 52 goals and 58 assists. However, the remaining members of the offense have struggled, resulting in only four other skaters scoring nine goals or more. This lackluster offense has allowed opponents to easily shut them down. The defense has also contributed to the team's difficulties, allowing an average of 3.43 goals per game. In their last two games, they conceded a total of seven goals. While Radko Gudas and Urho Vaakanainen have managed to contribute defensively, the rest of the unit has struggled to prevent opponents from taking open shots on goal. The team's goaltender, John Gibson, has also faced difficulties, with a save percentage of .901 and a goals-against average of 3.04. Overall, the Ducks currently hold a power ranking of 30 and are ranked 29th in offense, 26th in defense, and have a record of 18-31-2 this season. The DostWALL 🧱🧱🧱 pic.twitter.com/iqJowbgCoh
