The Anaheim Ducks have really had some problems in getting the offense going on the year and have actually ended up losing quite a few games because of the lack of offense. The Ducks offense, which never has been good since the days of Teemu Selanne has really fallen flat this season. The lack of offensive production has led to the overworking of John Gibson on the year.

The Ducks offense has only managed to get 2.22 goals a game and is ranked last in the NHL. The Duck have started to fail defensively as well by giving up 3.16 goals a game. The Ducks have ended up converting on the power play at 13.9%, but the penalty kill has had some issues killing off only 79.7%,
With the Flyers the team looked horrible on the year earlier and looked like everything was lost. Now, under new management the Flyers are starting to look like the team that everyone knew they could be with the amount of talent the team has on the roster and that could be a saving grace for some of the Flyer players.

The offense of the Flyers has been able to play decent on the year with 2.83 goals a game being scored. The major struggle for the Flyers has been protecting the net as they are giving up 3.31 goals a game. The Flyers power play is not that good either as they are only converting on 16.4%, but the defense has been able to kill off 76.8%.

The Ducks offense has struggled and that is going to be a major problem in this game here as the Flyers defense is not that good, but will look like the Miracle on Ice team here. The Flyers offense will also take advantage of a very overworked defense of the Ducks and bring home a win in this game here. Final Score Prediction, Philadelphia Flyers win 4-2.
