The Anaheim Ducks face the Colorado Avalanche with both teams heading in opposite directions this season. The Ducks have a 10-14 record and with only two wins in their last 10 games, they have fallen to the bottom of the Pacific Division. The Avalanche have a 15-7-2 record and are in first place in the Central Division. Both teams look to improve in the Western Conference and the upcoming game should be a good one.
