Anaheim enters the contest with a 4-5-0 record and is winless in four straight games. After earning a 4-2 victory against the Calgary Flames, the Ducks lost four consecutive games in regulation. They dropped a 4-2 decision hosting Calgary, fell 4-2 against the Boston Bruins, lost 5-2 visiting the New York Rangers, and took a 3-2 defeat visiting the New York Islanders.
Vancouver holds a 2-8-1 record and is winless in eight consecutive games with an 0-7-1 mark during that span.
