2019-20 SEASON SERIES
Vegas and Anaheim met four times during the 2019-20 season as the Golden Knights won three of the head-to-head matchups. The Golden Knights skated to a 5-2 victory on Oct. 27 at T-Mobile Arena before the Ducks claimed their only win of the season series, 4-3, exactly two months later. Vegas picked up another 5-2 win on Dec. 31 and won a dramatic overtime contest on Feb. 23 in a 6-5 thriller at Honda Center.
OPPOSITION UPDATE
The Ducks have bobbed along the middle of the Honda West Division pond as they rank fifth in the division with 13 points and a 5-5-3 overall record. Anaheim has a -9-goal differential in 13 games but has found ways to collect points and stay relevant in the eight-team pool. The Ducks have the NHL's worst power play as they've clicked at a lowly 6.7 percent. Despite its man advantage woes, Anaheim has a top-5 penalty kill in the league as they've successfully made 86.1 percent of their penalties disappear.
Max Comtois (5G, 1A) and Carter Rowney (6A) are tied for the team lead in scoring with six points each. Both Anaheim goalies have .500 records as John Gibson is 4-4-3 and Ryan Miller is 1-1-0.
