The Ducks (37-27-3) return to Honda Center and look to make it two wins in a row as they take on some familiar foes with the Flyers in town (31-23-12).<\/p>\n
Puck drop is set for 7 p.m. PT and will air on KCOP-13 and Victory+.<\/p>\n
Anaheim closed out a back-to-back with a 4-3 win over the Canadiens on Sunday. Leo Carlsson had two goals and an assist, Troy Terry had a goal, and Cutter Gauthier notched his seventh game-winning goal this season.<\/p>\n
John Carlson also made his debut and will make his Ducks home debut tonight.<\/p>\n
Heading into tonight\u2019s game, the Ducks remain atop the Pacific Division tied with Edmonton with 77 points.<\/p>\n
Jeffrey Viel had an assist in Sunday\u2019s game and discussed how the team can stack wins to keep things rolling as there\u2019s only one month remaining in the regular season until the playoffs begin.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou could feel this was a playoff game and atmosphere there [in Montreal],\u201d Viel said. \u201cI think every game until the end of the season will be like that. It\u2019s about playing the right way and feeling good going into that last stretch of games here.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Ducks and Flyers last met in January with Philly beating Anaheim, 5-2.<\/p>\n
With so many ties between these teams, head coach Joel Quenneville expects quite the atmosphere and game tonight.<\/p>\n
\u201cI expect it\u2019ll be intense,\u201d Quenneville said. \u201cI think that everybody\u2019s fighting for playoff life and playoff positioning. I think there\u2019s a little history there but at the same time, it\u2019s one of those games where we didn\u2019t mind the way we started that game and at the end of the game, we had nothing to show for it\u2026<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s make sure we continue on from our last game and how we started the last road trip, those are the games we want to make sure that\u2019s gonna get us through our stretch here to find our way to put ourselves in the spot of where want to be in.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trevor Zegras returns to Anaheim for the first time since being traded last summer in exchange for picks and Ryan Poehling.<\/p>\n
Poehling has a career-high in assists thus far this season (21) and Quenneville shared why he\u2019s been such a good addition in Anaheim.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think he had an ordinary start through camp, but as the season\u2019s gone on here, the more he\u2019s played, the better he\u2019s played,\u201d Quenneville said. \u201cHow he\u2019s added to our special teams,<\/p>\n
possession game, defensively he\u2019s been reliable, but his speed is the part that he\u2019s really added a nice dimension to our team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Starting tonight, the Flyers embark on a three-game road trip throughout California. They come into this matchup off a 2-1 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have a very good team,\u201d Viel said of Philadelphia. \u201cThey work really really hard and we can\u2019t take anyone easy. They\u2019re still in that battle fighting for a spot. They\u2019re going to be hungry so we just gotta be ready.\u201d<\/p>\n
