Anaheim Ducks Clash with New York Rangers at Honda Center

As the Anaheim Ducks prepare to host the New York Rangers at the Honda Center, fans can anticipate a game where recent trends could play a significant role. The Ducks have had a mixed bag of results in their last few outings, showing both resilience and areas for improvement.

In their most recent game against the Seattle Kraken, despite falling short with a score of 2-3, there were positive takeaways. The Ducks demonstrated strong faceoff capabilities, winning 62 percent of them. However, they struggled on power plays, converting only one out of three opportunities and will need to capitalize on these chances against the Rangers.

The previous match saw the Ducks shut out by Calgary Flames 0-3. While goaltending was solid with a save percentage above 93 percent, it wasn't enough to compensate for their inability to find the back of the net. The team's penalty kill was tested frequently as they faced seven powerplays against them but managed to prevent any goals during these disadvantages.

However, looking back two games prior offers some optimism as Anaheim secured an impressive 4-3 victory over Detroit Red Wings. Their offense clicked that night with an 18 percent shooting success rate and converting one out of three powerplay opportunities into goals.

The upcoming game presents an opportunity for Anaheim to bounce back from their recent defeat and leverage their home advantage at Honda Center – known for its energetic atmosphere which could provide an extra boost for the team.

Fans can catch all the action on January 22nd at 5:30 PM PST at Honda Center or tune into ESPN+ nationally or BSSC/BSSD locally in Anaheim.
