The Anaheim Ducks have lost seven straight and are looking to get back into the win column against the Washington Capitals.
The Capitals are coming off a 2-1 victory in Los Angeles on Wednesday, as they continue to have one of the stingiest defenses in hockey.
It will be a tough test for a Ducks team that scores the fifth-fewest goals per game in the league.
Fortunately for the Ducks, the Capitals are also one of the leagues lowest scoring teams.
It should be a low-scoring affair in Anaheim, which could play into Anaheim's hands.
The Capitals second line had a big night against the Kings on Wednesday, so they're one to watch Thursday.
