ANAHEIM, Calif. (Interstat) — The Anaheim Ducks will look to solidify their playoff positioning and exact revenge on the Edmonton Oilers when the Pacific Division rivals meet Wednesday night at Honda Center. The Ducks (30-26-0), holding a six-point edge over the Oilers (28-30-0) in the standings, enter on a positive note after a 4-2 home victory over the Seattle Kraken on Feb. 3. Goaltender Lukas Dostal, who made 26 saves in that win, is expected to start. Forwards Alex Killorn and Ross Johnston each scored in the contest. Edmonton arrives after a 4-3 road loss to the Calgary Flames on Feb. 4, despite a strong performance from star center Leon Draisaitl, who scored two goals. Defenseman Evan Bouchard added three assists in the defeat. The Oilers’ form has been inconsistent, with a 3-6-1 record in their last 10 games. The most recent meeting between these teams heavily favors Edmonton. On Jan. 26 in Alberta, the Oilers erupted for a 7-4 win over the Ducks. That result is part of a challenging recent stretch for Anaheim, which has gone 5-5-0 in its last 10. A key matchup will be Edmonton’s high-powered offense, led by Draisaitl and Connor McDavid, against Anaheim’s structured defense and Dostal in net. The Ducks have found success at home lately, winning three of their last four at Honda Center, including victories over Vegas and the New York Rangers. For the Oilers, every game is critical as they attempt to climb back into the Western Conference wild-card race. This contest opens a crucial three-game California road trip, with games at Los Angeles and San Jose to follow. The Ducks, aiming to string together wins before a lengthy homestand concludes Friday against Winnipeg, will need to contain Edmonton’s top players to avoid a season-series sweep after the January defeat. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. PST.
