Ducks Have Owned The Freeway Face-Off

The rivalry between the Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings is an intense one, but that has not meant it has been even on the scoreboards. The Ducks have won seven of the past 10 games between the two squads, but Anaheim fell just short of a comeback in the last meeting with the Kings winning 3-2.

Shark Bites
  • The total has gone UNDER in 14 of the Ducks past 20 games.
  • The Kings are 1-5 against the puckline in their past 6 against the Ducks.
  • Peter Budaj has a 3.62 GAA and a .870 SV% against the Ducks this season.

After coming within one point of the Pacific Division lead, the Ducks have gone 2-4-1 while averaging 2.1 goals per game. Anaheim has had an odd trend of struggling in the second period which reared it’s ugly head when they allowed three goals in six minutes during the second frame against Florida in their last game. Rickard Rakell has relished his time against the Kings, as the center has two goals and two assists against LA this season.

The Kings have been as stable as Jell-O in house construction lately, as they have surrendered 21 goals in their past five games. Goalies have just been plain getting beat, as LA has only surrendered 25.4 shots per game in their past five and that number is greatly increased by the 39 shots Florida put on net. Youngster Tanner Pearson is red-hot with the third-year player notching four goals and three assists in the past three games.
