Anaheim @ Vegas preview

Last Meeting ( Mar 1, 2019 ) Vegas 3, Anaheim 0

The Anaheim Ducks take their rediscovered offense into Sunday's game against the host Vegas Golden Knights. Anaheim recorded one goal in consecutive losses to Calgary and at Nashville and Dallas before erupting for a 5-2 victory at Colorado on Saturday with Adam Henrique and Jakob Silfverberg each scoring their team-leading sixth goal.

"I really thought we were due for that," Ducks coach Dallas Eakins told reporters. "Getzy (captain Ryan Getzlaf) and I this afternoon were saying, 'We're due for a game where we score four or five goals.' There's too many games in a row where you get chances and they don't go in. Great for our guys to stick with the process and finally get rewarded." Vegas has lost two of its last three games, allowing six goals in each setback after falling 6-1 to Colorado on Friday. "A humbling game, for sure," Golden Knights defenseman Brayden McNabb told reporters. "... It's tough. Back to work. ..." Vegas has won four straight meetings and seven of the eight all-time encounters.

ABOUT THE DUCKS (7-5-0): Defenseman Hampus Lindholm had three assists versus Colorado and boasts nine this season to share the team point lead with Silfverberg. Defenseman Erik Gudbranson on Saturday was a plus-2 with two shots and a cross-checking penalty in a game-high 22 minutes, 24 seconds of ice time in his first contest since being acquired from Pittsburgh. John Gibson (4-5-0, 2.22 goals-against average, .927 save percentage) is expected to play after backup Ryan Miller stopped 35 shots Saturday.

ABOUT THE GOLDEN KNIGHTS (7-5-0): Mark Stone (six goals this season) had his seven-game point streak snapped Friday, leaving him with a team-high 14 points. Reilly Smith, whose career high for goals was 25 while with Florida in 2015-16, leads the club with seven. Marc-Andre Fleury (7-3-0, 2.32, .930) was relieved by Garret Sparks after allowing four goals to Colorado - the third time Fleury has allowed that many this season, but is expected back in net Sunday.
