ANAHEIM, Calif. (Interstat) — The Anaheim Ducks, riding a seesaw of recent results, will look to steady themselves against the struggling Columbus Blue Jackets in an NHL matchup Tuesday night at Nationwide Arena. The Ducks (19-13-0) arrive after a 4-1 loss at New Jersey on Saturday snapped a modest two-game win streak. Their last 10 games reflect their inconsistency, featuring a 7-0 shutout loss to Utah and a 7-1 rout of Chicago. Anaheim holds a clear advantage in the standings over the Blue Jackets (13-19-0), who have lost four straight and six of their last seven. A key to Anaheim’s fortunes will be forward Troy Terry. He has been a bright spot amid the volatility, recording points in five of his last ten contests, including a goal on a team-high six shots in the loss to New Jersey. Columbus, mired in a 1-5-1 skid, is searching for answers after a 3-2 home loss to Vegas last time out. Veteran center Charlie Coyle, who scored in that defeat, has been one of the few consistent offensive threats. He had a three-point night (one goal, two assists) in a win over New Jersey on Dec. 1 but has found the scoresheet sparingly since. The Blue Jackets’ defense has been a particular concern, allowing four or more goals in four of their last five games. They will need to contain an Anaheim attack that has shown explosive potential. According to National Statistical’s game simulator, the projection favors the visiting Ducks with a 3-2 final score. This contest opens a critical home-and-home set between the clubs. They will meet again Saturday in Anaheim. If You Go: The puck drops at 7 p.m. EST Tuesday at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.
