The Setup
Tonight, the Blues face the Ducks for the first time this season. Will the Blues remain on their downward slide, or will they start to play like the team that started the season again.
The Ducks
The Ducks are coming into tonight’s match with a 7-2-1 record. They were on a 4 game winning streak into their last game, when they seem to have fallen into a rut. The Ducks and Blues split their games 2-2 last season, so the match up is pretty equal this year.
The Blues
The Blues are now on a 3 game losing streak, with the last two losses coming at home. Tonight’s home game is sure to put pressure on an already non-cohesive team.
Jaoslav Halak has started practicing, and may be available as early Monday for action.
