The Ducks are having a season to forget with their offense struggling and scoring only 2.61 goals per game. Frank Vatrano, Mason McTavish, and Ryan Strome have 27 goals and 34 assists to lead the top two lines but the rest of the offense has struggled. Only six skaters have six goals or more and opposing defenses can limit the top-heavy offense as a result.
The offense has struggled but the defense has let the Ducks down, allowing 3.43 goals per game with eight goals in the last two games. Radko Gudas and Urho Vaakanainen have combined for 2.8 defensive point shares but the rest of the unit has struggled, allowing opponents to find open shots on the net with ease. The bright spot has been the play of goaltender Josh Gibson who has a .904 save percentage and a 2.89 goals-against average on 565 shots with 0.4 goals saved above average.
