Anaheim vs Los Angeles Stats

Anaheim Mighty Ducks

The Anaheim Ducks recently snapped a two-game losing streak by defeating the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 at home. Cutter Gauthier scored two goals and Lukas Dostal made 45 saves in the victory. Dostal has a 23-21-6 record with a 3.05 GAA and a .905 save percentage this season. John Gibson is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, so Dostal was expected to start on Wednesday. The team's power ranking is currently at 31, with an offense ranked 26th and defense ranked 23rd. Anaheim has a season record of 34-35-8. Ville Husso may start in goal on Thursday.

Los Angeles Kings Analysis

The Los Angeles Kings ended their impressive four-game winning streak with a 2-1 loss to the Seattle Kraken. Despite outshooting Seattle and Quinton Byfield scoring his 20th goal of the season, the Kings were unable to secure a victory. Goalie Darcy Kuemper posted 26 saves in the defeat. The Kings currently sit in second place in the Pacific Division, trailing the Vegas Golden Knights. Key players Adrian Kempe, Joel Edmundson, and Drew Doughty are questionable for the upcoming game against the Ducks. With a power ranking of 14, the Kings excel defensively but struggle offensively, ranking 18th in the league. In their recent matchups, the Anaheim Ducks have had the upper hand against the Kings, going 2-0-1.

Los Angeles Kings Favored for Victory Against Anaheim Ducks with Missing Key Players

The Los Angeles Kings are in a strong position to secure a victory over the Anaheim Ducks, despite missing key players. I recommend taking the Kings at the puckline due to the Ducks lacking motivation and facing fatigue from playing on consecutive nights. The Kings are focused on securing the No. 2 seed and have demonstrated strong defensive capabilities, allowing only six goals in their last six games. In contrast, the Ducks are reliant on goaltending and have struggled offensively. Even with Lukas Dostal in goal, the Ducks will face significant challenges against the well-rounded Kings team. Overall, the Kings hold the upper hand in this matchup and are in a better position to secure a win.
