The Anaheim Ducks (Anaheim Ducks championship rings) are looking for the third win of their five-game road trip, and tonight they’re headed straight for Hurricane (Carolina hurricanes championship rings) country. Will the Ducks get caught in the middle of a perfect storm or will the winds of change come in and save them from devastation? Don’t be Fooled by the Calm Before the Storm



The Anaheim Ducks have managed to snag four out of six possible points so far on their five-game road trip. Call it what you will: a little good luck, showing off in front of mom, or the return of Carter Rowney; the fact of the matter is, they won. I believe that is exactly the motivation they need going forward.Of course, the Anaheim Ducks still have a handful of glaringly obvious issues. If they want to have a chance at winning tonight, these issues need to be addressed by both the coaching staff and the players.

The Ducks competition tonight, the Carolina Hurricanes, are coming off of a 2-1 victory against the Montreal Canadiens despite being severely outshot. Their season record is very similar to the Ducks at 12-9-3.The Canes are hoping to make a push for the playoffs this season. Although they are currently sitting in the fifth place spot of the Metropolitan Division, they need just one more win to be in the running for the second place wild card spot. This puts them in almost the exact same position as the Anaheim Ducks, so a lot is riding on this game.

I understand that we’re only two months into the season. However, the Hurricanes are having one of the best seasons (stanley cup rings) they’ve had since their cup run in 2009. The division they play in is also a lot more competitive than the Pacific Division.However, with the Ducks riding on the confidence of their previous two wins, they have everything they need in their “toolbox” to defeat the Hurricanes. It’s a matter of whether they utilize it properly and stay consistent.
