UPDATE (12:49 PM): Curtis McEllhinney will start in goal for the Ducks tonight.
When the Canucks and Ducks locked horns on October 13, the Ducks were 0-3 to start the season. In those games, Ryan Getzlaf had no points was a -5. Corey Perry had zero points and was a -3. Bobby Ryan was pointless and a -4. All it took was a terrible defensive effort from the visiting Canucks to get them going. In the Ducks' 4-3 win, Getzlaf scored 1 goal and 3 assists, Perry scored a goal, and Ryan scored a goal and 2 points. It was fugly. A choking.
What could possibly happen this time, as anything can happen when these 2 teams play. Entertainment and schizophrenia at its finest. When playing the Ducks, it usually gets physical as well.
The Ducks are playing their second game in as many nights, winning 3-2 in a 10-round shootout against the Oilers last night. Maybe they'll be tired. Maybe that won't
matter unless the Canucks put out a solid effort unlike their last game against (what could have been) a tired Blues squad on Sunday.
WHO'S HOT (CANUCKS)
WHO'S HOT (DUCKS)
That about it. Who has not scored a point in 3 games for the Ducks? Getzlaf, Perry and Ryan. Hmmm.....
MISC
- It looks as though Roberto Luongo and Jonas Hiller will start in goal.
- The Ducks are 6-4 against the Canucks in their last 10 meetings dating back to October 2008. The Canucks have 3 wins and 2 losses at home against the Quacks in that same span.
- With Alexandre Bolduc playing super in his first game back from injury/Manitoba, he has claimed his 4th line center spot back for now. Since Joel Perrault is only comfortable at center, he was sent down to Manitoba and some guy named Jonas Andersson, a natural winger, will play his first game with the Canucks. Dan Hamhuis recalled this of Mr. Andersson: "He’s a highly skilled player from what I can remember. He’s an amazing skater and he has great hands. He’s just a really good player," Hamhuis said. "Persistence is a good word. He works extremely hard off the ice. When he was with Nashville he was always one of the top guys in fitness testing. He’s in unbelievable shape."
