This is the first meeting of the season between these two teams, and Anaheim looks to bounce back from two losses at Florida in regulation and Tampa Bay in a shootout. The Ducks have been getting good goaltending from Jonathan Bernier and John Gibson, who each made 35 saves in the losses. Gibson is expected in goal tonight and he now has a 2.27 goals-against average and .921 save percentage with a 20-12-8 record. Henrik Lundqvist has a 2.74 GAA and .907 save percentage for the Rangers, who have split his last four starts. Chris Kreider and Jesper Fast scored third period goals in Sunday's win over Calgary as Lundqvist made 29 saves. Anaheim is 8-2 its last 10 games after scoring two or fewer goals its previous game while New York has won just two of their last five home games. There is value with the underdog in this matchup, so play the Ducks.
