Game in Anaheim, Can They Make up for Monday’s Loss to LA?

Anaheim last played Minnesota on Sunday night, and lost that game 3-2.  They are a struggling team right now and are looking very fragile.  The Canucks, on the other hand, had a very dissapointing first two periods against the LA Kings on Monday night, but came out hard in the third, but not hard enough to tie up the game.  They lost 3-2.

The Ducks haven’t won yet this month, so the Canucks definitely have that statistic in their favour.  Vancouver has lost two consecuitve road games, so hopefully by the end of the night tonight they can snap that streak and not have it continue to a 3 game skid.

The Canucks are going to have to shut down Corry Perry tonight, as he leads all Anaheim Ducks players with seven points aainst the Canucks this season.  Likewise, Steve Bernier leads the Canucks with 4 points against the Ducks this season.

Tonight’s game starts at 7pm PST in Anaheim, and is available on Canucks TV Pay Per View.  You can catch the game on the internet via live streaming online radio at the Team, team1040.ca  Let’s see if the Canucks can mae this trip .500 and make it 13-3 ion their last sixteen.  The playoffs are JUST around the corner.
