Vancouver at Anaheim

Anaheim has a new coach in Bob Murray, the team's vice president and general manager. The Ducks still suffered a recent 12-game losing streak and are tied for last in the Western Conference with only 51 points. The Ducks currently have lost seven in a row and have scored only four goals their last four games while allowing 20. Vancouver comes off a 7-2 loss to San Jose, but that was with a rookie goaltender Michael DiPietro making his NHL debut. Jacob Markstrom is expected back in goal tonight for the Canucks, who have won five straight against an opponent that allowed at least five goals its previous game. Anaheim has lost four of five when playing with at least three days of rest and the Ducks are 17-35 their last 52 games after scoring two or fewer goals in their previous game. Look for a new coach to not make much of a difference, so play the Canucks.
