16-0-2. That is the Ducks' record at home. That is where the Canucks Cooling Act ends up next. Losers of 3 in a row, they have their work cut out for them after an emotional hard-hitting loss to the Kings on Saturday night.

KNOW YOUR ENEMY

The Quacks have won 2 in a row and 12 of their last 13. Yea. Big challenge for the Canucks here, but would be a huge team boost to hand the Ducks their first regulation loss at home.

If I screwed up and forgot you, let me know in the comments section. I can tell you that BigPDog called 4-2 Lightning and westy99 predicted 3-1 Kings. Sometimes numbskullery pays off, hey boys?
