FL at Anaheim...............
FL is 5-11-3 away, and Ducks are 6-10-3 at home. Last 10 almost as even.
Ducks better at Away/Home stats: 1.89/2.21 (offense) and 2.89/2.26 (defense)
Anaheim is playing first home match after 6 game road swing where they dropped the last four. Next they take on STL at home on 9th.
FL just started a 4 game road trip, losing to LA. Sat night is SJ, then WA.
Last meeting was Nov 21. FL whopped Anaheim 6-0 and captain yelled at team which lit a fire under them, for a while.
Tampa Bay at Chicago.................
Tampa Bay 6-14-2 on road
Chicago 23-12-8 at home
TB 4-5-1 last ten games. 0-4 last four.
Chicago 8-2 last 10. Trying for it's first five game winning streak in almost 2 years.
TB played well last outing. "Buhlin Wall" was back in form, but MN's Roloson turned away 36 shots for shutout. Let Thibault try that! Actually, Thibaut took 33 shots from Phx Oct 11, his highest SOG this season, and recorded his first season shutout.
TB have one day rest, then take on Phx. Then they get to go home.
Chicago papers say important defenseman Mironov will probably be out. Housley will probably play, but a defenseman called up from minors just in case.
