The Anaheim Ducks have lost four straight. In that span, one of their greatest strengths has turned into a weakness. Anaheim’s power play was so good earlier in the season that it is still 11th in the NHL at 22.58…
Todd Matthews reports that the Anaheim Ducks are on a four-game losing streak following a 3-2 defeat against the New York Islanders. During the slump, Anaheim's special teams have regressed, with the power play converting just one of its last 15 opportunities after starting the season 6-for-16.
The Ducks' penalty kill has also slipped, stopping only 10 of 15 chances across the last four contests. Matthews notes that improving special teams against the New Jersey Devils on Thursday could relieve pressure on Anaheim's below-average five-on-five scoring metrics.
