Both the Anaheim Ducks and the Blackhawks are coming off overtime games, but the Ducks have a slight advantage after a day of rest. For the Hawks, they are coming off a tough overtime loss against the Kings, so to say that they are tired-out and beaten down is an understatement. That’s the first key here for the Ducks to focus on.
Lots of Early Pressure
Last night’s OT loss against the Kings was a very tough one for Chicago considering that they are now 3-6-3 and twenty-seventh in league standings. As a team and a franchise, the Blackhawks are trying to rebuild to get back to those glory years that saw them win three Stanley Cup championships in five years, but things haven’t been rolling too well for them since the 2017 playoffs.
