Ducks look to deny another ‘Original Six’ underachiever

The Anaheim Ducks host the New York Rangers on Friday at 10 p.m. EDT in Anaheim, California, for the second matchup between the teams this season.
The Ducks, in the Pacific Division with a 31-32-8 record, are coming off a 6-2 win against the Boston Bruins, while the Rangers, who are in the Metropolitan Division with a 34-32-6 record and have lost eight of their past 11 games, are hoping to improve their recent performance.
Anaheim has been strong at home with a 17-16-2 record, and they excel when scoring at least three goals, holding a 27-3-4 record in such games, while the Rangers are 17-15-3 on the road and have a 28-10-4 record when they score three or more goals.
Key players to watch include Frank Vatrano with 20 goals for the Ducks, Alex Killorn who has five goals over the last 10 games, and Artemi Panarin, the Rangers' leading scorer, with 31 goals and 43 assists.
With 11 games left in the season, Ducks veteran Alex Killorn sees the upcoming games as a great opportunity to finish strong and build momentum for next season, while the Rangers, despite their recent struggles and goalie Igor Shesterkin's less-than-stellar performance, aim to improve their playoff chances.
