The Vegas Golden Knights are coming to town, which could prove to be a challenge for the Anaheim Ducks who have hopes of breaking their losing streak.
The Anaheim Ducks are back home tonight with one goal in mind: win. After losing six in a row, they have dropped down to fourth in the Pacific Division, barely clinging to the second Wild Card spot.
A win tonight would give them a boost of confidence they desperately need. Nevertheless, despite their recent loss, they played surprisingly well against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Taking one of the best teams in the league to overtime while also looking evenly matched is an impressive feat.
If the Anaheim Ducks play a similar game of hockey to Monday night’s performance, they could very well give the Vegas Golden Knights a run for their money.
