The Anaheim Ducks have lost five straight heading into Sunday's game against the Edmonton Oilers and need to get back into the win column.
They're facing and Oilers team that's coming off a big 5-0 win against the Washington Capitals. But it's also an Oilers team that has drastically underperformed to start the season.
As always, the Ducks have to deal with the Connor McDavid-Leon Draisaitl duo, who've combined for 46 points in 19 games.
The Oilers have struggled for quality goaltending regardless of who's in net, something the Ducks can look to take advantage of.
Special teams will play a big part on Sunday.
The Oilers are one of the best power plays in the league again with a struggling penalty kill.
If the Ducks can stay out of the box and capitalize on the power play, they'll put themselves in a good spot tonight.
