Number for Nerds
Ryan Getzlaf has points in 5 of 6 games (8 pts) since returning to the lineup, including 4 assists in the most recent game against the Islanders. With two goal scorers on his wings - Kase slotting on his right, and Rakell on his left - he's prime to rack up some more assists.
Pete's Prediction
Hi, I'm Pete. As none of you are aware of (unless your part of the Anaheim Calling staff) I called Lindholm getting the hat trick for the overtime winner Thursday night. So naturally, my predictions have the highest possibility of being true amongst everyone. Tonights game winner will come from Ondrej Kase. No overtime needed. Josh Manson will also extend his point streak to 5 games. Lastly, if a Duck gets hurt tonight, it'll be Vermette. Some sort of upper-body injury will occur after a hit because the hockey gods aren't ready to see Derek Grant drop down to the AHL when Ryan Kesler Returns.
GO DUCKS!
