Ducks visit struggling Canucks, who sit last in the West

Vancouver is 3-12-1 with 7 points, 16th in the Western Conference. The Canucks are 1-6-0 at home and have lost four of their last five (LLWLL). Anaheim is 6-7-1 with 13 points, 12th in the West, and 4-3-0 on the road. The Ducks are WLLWL over their last five.
