Clash on the Coast: Anaheim Ducks Set Sails for Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena

As the Anaheim Ducks prepare to face off against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent performance trends. The upcoming match, scheduled for January 14th, will be a test of resilience and strategy for the Ducks.

In their last three games, the Ducks have shown a mix of outcomes. Their most recent game against the Carolina Hurricanes ended in a loss with a score of 3-6. Despite this setback, there were positive takeaways; notably, they managed to net three goals during the second period and maintained a powerplay faceoff win percentage of 67 percent. However, they'll need to tighten up defensively as they allowed six goals against them.

Prior to that game, the Ducks secured an impressive victory over the Nashville Predators with five goals scored and only three conceded. Their goaltending was particularly strong in this match-up as they saved 39 out of 42 shots – an excellent save percentage that contributed significantly to their win.

However, consistency remains an issue as evidenced by another loss before that victory when facing off against Detroit Red Wings at home. The Ducks managed two goals but fell short by one goal ending with a scoreline of 2-3.

The key statistics indicate areas where improvements can be made; while their shooting percentage has been variable across games (19 percent against Carolina but only six percent versus Detroit), maintaining high faceoff win percentages has been more consistent.

As we look towards Amalie Arena's influence on this game – it's known for its energetic atmosphere which could play into Tampa Bay's hands. However, if Anaheim can leverage their powerplay opportunities and improve defensive stability while capitalizing on any momentum from previous wins – they stand a good chance at coming away with points.

Fans won't want to miss what promises to be an exciting encounter between these two teams. The action will unfold live on January 14th and can be watched nationally on ESPN+ or locally via BSSC channel 693 or BSSD channel 694 depending on your location.
