My Prediction
Anaheim Ducks by 2I tell ya, this Anaheim Ducks and Vancouver Canucks matchup has drama written all over it, just like a daytime soap opera. I mean, who needs General Hospital when you have hockey, right?
Let's start with our masked men, the goalkeepers. The Ducks are rolling with Lukas Dostal and John Gibson. Dostal's been quite the brick wall this season with an impressive 90.5 save percentage. Gibson is no slouch either, holding a dazzling 96.5 save percentage for the season. Meanwhile, Vancouver is relying on Kevin Lankinen and Thatcher Demko. Lankinen's save percentage rests at 89.8, while Demko's is a tad bit lower at 89. Kid needs to catch a few more pucks out there, if you ask me.
The Ducks have quite a formidable squad of players. Mason McTavish, last month he scored six goals, 11 assists, and a plus-minus of 7. Meanwhile, Leo Carlsson also rounds up the top players with 7 goals and 8 assists last month. On the other end of the ice, Canucks have Pius Suter with 7 goals and 7 assists, and coming in close is Kiefer Sherwood with 4 goals and 8 assists in the last month.
When it comes to past matchups, I think we need a crystal ball or a soothsayer, because it's pretty neck and neck. Important to point out though, their last meet saw the Canucks win by a slim margin, with a score of 3-2.
After asking my Magic 8 Ball and considering the regular season records, recent results and that storyline drama of the past match-ups, the prediction wheels are spinning and I'm sending some good vibrations over to the Ducks this game. Although Canucks are favored, the Ducks' goalkeeping stats and top player's recent numbers have my eyebrows wigglin'.
