Anaheim vs. Winnipeg: NHL Match Prediction

Current form

Anaheim, having put in a huge amount of effort, was still able to interrupt its losing streak, which reached five games. The team played away to an opponent of its level in the person of Columbus and took advantage of its not-so-best form, snatching a victory in overtime with a score of 4:3. Goalkeeper Gibson made a huge contribution to the success, reflecting 39 shots out of 42. Indeed, the defensive line once again showed itself to be insufficiently reliable, and only due to the efforts of the goalkeeper was it possible to avoid another failure. It is impossible not to mention forward Killorn, who scored twice and gave an assist.

Before that, the Ducks also played on the road, where they were able to cling to points only in a match with Montreal, losing in a shootout (2:3). There were also some defeats, the team was unable to give a worthy rebuff to Ottawa, suffering a defeat with a score of 1:5. This time, Gibson was far from as reliable as in the match with the Blue Jackets. The club long decline led to the fact that it is only in 14th place in the Western Conference standings, with an advantage over its closest opponents of only two points.

Disqualifications and injuries

The Anaheim infirmary remains unchanged. The team continues to play without Susanek and Zegras.
