VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- If any game ever fit the description of a trap game, this one does.
The Anaheim Ducks (39-24-13) will try to make their Pacific Division playoff hopes more secure Tuesday night as they visit the future-focused Vancouver Canucks (27-40-9). In other words, the Ducks will be trying to ensure that they do not become lackadaisical and allow the Canucks to play a part in spoiling their postseason aspirations.
In theory, the Ducks should not be overly worried. They have won five of their past six games.
"We're sticking with it," Ducks forward Adam Henrique told The Orange County Register in reference to the team's work ethic.
