Anaheim has enough talent all around, but the offense has yet to get going. The defense is fine, 18th in goals allowed and tops in penalty killing. This team was in the Western Conference finals back in May and return stars Corey Perry, Ryan Getzlaf, and Ryan Kesler. Speedy forward Carl Hagelin was acquired from the New York Rangers, while Anaheim's No. 1 goalie Frederik Andersen is 0-3-1 despite a 1.86 GAA and .938 save percentage in five games. The Ducks are 50-21 on Monday games and face a Chicago team without Conn Smythe Trophy winner Duncan Keith, who is out 4-6 weeks after knee surgery. Chicago's offense hasn't exactly been on fire, scoring a total of four goals the last two games and nine the last five, so grab the visiting dog. Play Anaheim.
