The Ducks (41-28-4) return home for a quick one-game stint against the Maple Leafs (31-30-13).
Puck drop is set for 7 p.m. PT and will air on Victory+ and KCOP-13.
Anaheim’s winning streak came to a halt on Saturday with a 4-2 loss to the Oilers. Cutter Gauthier and Beckett Sennecke were responsible for the team’s goals while John Carlson had two assists.
Carlson’s strong start to his Ducks career earned him NHL Third Star of the Week honors as he had seven assists through three games last week.
“We’re first in the Pacific right now, but not by much and those little details and stuff like that can get kind of overlooked and can cost you a game and a playoff series,” Gauthier said. “So, we’re doing our due diligence to tighten up all those things and be ready to go, firing on all cylinders going into the playoffs.”
As Gauthier noted, Anaheim remains atop the Pacific Division with a three-point lead over Edmonton.
The Leafs are coming off a loss to the Blues on Saturday and have gone 4-6-4 in the month of March.
But all eyes in this matchup will be on the return of Radko Gudas, whose collision with Auston Matthews earned him a five-game suspension after the last time the two teams met.
Gudas, who has missed the last two games for Anaheim, said he’ll be back tonight and is expecting quite the heated affair.
