The Hurricanes' brick wall of a defense, anchored by the stellar Frederik Andersen and his 2.08 GAA, has been nothing short of spectacular, giving up a mere 17 goals in their last nine games.

Keep an eye on Hurricanes' blueliners Shayne Gostisbehere and Brent Burns, who've been quietly orchestrating plays from the point and adding an extra dimension to Carolina's already potent attack.

The Ducks' lone bright spot has been netminder Lukas Dostal, who's managed to keep his head above water with a solid .908 save percentage despite facing a barrage of shots night after night.

This cross-conference matchup at Honda Center has all the makings of a David vs. Goliath story, with the Metropolitan Division powerhouse looking to feast on a Pacific Division team that's searching for answers.
