Anaheim at San Jose

Anaheim is eighth in the NHL in goals allowed, plus eighth on the power play on offense. The Ducks are 34-16 against the Western Conference, including 38-16 in Pacific Division action. San Jose played last night and took some depth losses. Melker Karlsson missed his fifth straight game Friday with an ankle injury, leaving San Jose thin down the middle with Tomas Hertl (lower-body) also out of the lineup and Tommy Wingels leaving Friday's game. San Jose is favored but the offense has struggled, at #23 in goals scored, and #17 on the power play. While Anaheim just finished a five-game homestand, San Jose is playing its fourth game in six nights here, so back the dog and take the road team Anaheim.
