January 17 marks the latest date on the calendar during a full length regular season that the Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings have met for the first time in a campaign. While in 1998 it was game 47 for the Mighty Ducks and game 44 for the Angelenos, this meeting has much greater bearing on the standings with Anaheim three points back of the final Pacific Division playoff spot. Think LA wants to keep their southern rivals as far from that as possible, 13 points clear of them they may be?
Last Games:
Ducks: Friday, January 15 vs Dallas (4-1 W) "Ducks Acquire David Perron, Adam Clendening From Penguins For Carl Hagelin"
Notes:
Could it be that maybe, just maybe, the Ducks continued dominance in terms of shot attempts, scoring chances, and high danger chances is finally starting to translate to the scoreboard?
