Vancouver Canucks vs. Anaheim Ducks preview

The struggling Canucks welcome the Ducks to Rogers Arena this Saturday in what might be Vancouver's last gasp at playoff relevance, sitting eight points out with their postseason hopes fading fast.

Anaheim arrives with something to prove after dropping a 4-2 decision to Calgary, though they've shown flashes of potential with a respectable 3-2 record in their last five outings.

Vancouver's offensive inconsistency has been their Achilles' heel - capable of exploding for six goals one night before getting shut out by Seattle in their last embarrassing home performance.

Keep an eye on Mason McTavish, who's been Anaheim's bright spot with five points in his last five games while establishing himself as a legitimate threat against the Canucks specifically with four points in their previous matchups.

For Vancouver, Quinn Hughes remains their backbone despite cooling off slightly, still managing three points in his last five games during what's been a remarkable 70-point season from the blueline.

The goaltending battle presents an interesting subplot with Lukas Dostal likely to mind the net for Anaheim (3.01 GAA) against Vancouver's Thatcher Demko, who's struggled to find consistency while posting a disappointing .888 save percentage this season.

Both teams have shown defensive vulnerabilities, with the Ducks surrendering the most shots per game in the NHL while Vancouver has allowed a concerning 20 goals across their last five contests.

The Canucks have dominated this season series so far with a 2-1 record, including 10 goals across their three meetings, suggesting Saturday's divisional clash might feature plenty of lamp-lighting despite both teams sitting in the bottom third of the league in scoring.
