The Anaheim Ducks have truly been a tale of two teams this season. And while they are currently in a playoff spot they will need to make some changes if they hope to still be there come April.
As we head into 2019, our beloved Anaheim Ducks are in a tight playoff race, seventh in the Wild West and fourth in the Pacific division. This team has fought to survive to get this far, but right now the Ducks are in a midst of a six-game losing streak, losing the last two games in overtime. During the six-game losing streak, the Ducks have been outscored twenty to nine, giving up more than three goals in five of the six games.
After losing five of the six games on the road, the Ducks hoped to use the home ice to snap out of the slump, but back-to-back overtime losses against Arizona and Tampa Bay leave the Ducks entering the 2019 portion of the season on a long sour note. Fans and players alike are asking one another one simple question: How do they break out of a slump and make a huge push to the Playoffs?
With ten games this month before the All-Star break late this month, it’s time to diagnose what ails this team and how to fix them. Here are the main points of emphasis for the Ducks to focus on getting back on track.
