Vancouver at Anaheim

Anaheim trailed Philadelphia 2-0 on Saturday after the Flyers scored two power-play goals 63 seconds apart late in the first period, then won 5-4. Philadelphia got 32 shots on Lukas Dostal, who stopped 28, and nine goals went up on the board. The Ducks have allowed 37 goals in 11 regular-season games, 3.4 a game, and four or more in six of them. Edmonton beat them 5-2 on October 7 and the Rangers did the same on October 19, both seven-goal games. Vancouver gives up more. Since beating Calgary on October 3, the Canucks are 0-9-1. In those 10 games they have allowed 45 goals, 4.5 a game, and four or more seven times. Carolina beat them 7-2 on October 8 and the Rangers won 6-2 on October 11. Carolina scored six and Detroit five in the two games before Sunday's loss to Minnesota. The leak predates the skid. Vancouver's first two games of the season finished 6-5 in overtime and 9-7, both against Edmonton. With both defenses giving up goals at these rates, I make the OVER the right side of this total.
