The Anaheim Ducks look to maintain their spot atop the Pacific Division on Wednesday night when they play host to the Utah Mammoth.
After years of being a bottom-feeder in the NHL, the Ducks are starting to fly once again. Led by a talented young core, featuring Cutter Gauthier, Leo Carlsson and goaltender Lukas Dostal, the team has been one of the best in the league over the first couple of months of the season.
The Ducks are dealing with a little bit of adversity, as both goaltenders, Dostal and Petr Mrazek, are out due to injury. However, the team still has plenty of talent to power through and get wins, something Anaheim showed on Monday night in a 4-1 win over the St. Louis Blues.
The Mammoth came into the year hoping to be competitive and remain in the playoff picture for a few months. That has proven to be easier said than done. The team has struggled to keep up with many across the Western Conference, leading to a four-game losing streak.
This is the second of three meetings between the interdivisional foes this season. The Ducks outlasted the Mammoth in overtime on home ice last month, 3-2.
