Current odds:

Arizona Coyotes: (TBD)

Anaheim Ducks: (TBD)

 

• The Anaheim Ducks attempt to avoid a third consecutive loss at Honda Center when they continue their three-game homestand against the Arizona Coyotes on Friday. Anaheim won its first two at home this season but has been outscored 9-1 in its last two, including a 5-1 setback against Pittsburgh on Wednesday in the opener of the homestand. The Ducks hope to have their leading scorer back in the lineup Friday as captain Ryan Getzlaf (nine points) sat out the loss to the Penguins with an upper-body injury.

• Arizona completed a 2-1-0 homestand Thursday with a 3-2 shootout triumph over Nashville as Anthony Duclair forged a tie in the third period with his first goal of the season before netting the decisive tally in the bonus format.

• Arizona is hoping Christian Dvorak will be this season’s version of Duclair and Max Domi, who posted strong rookie campaigns in 2015-16. The 20-year-old Dvorak scored his first career goal hours after being recalled from Tucson of the American Hockey League on Thursday and has notched four points in his first eight NHL games.

• Anaheim made a slew of moves Thursday, removing Mason Raymond and defensemen Shea Theodore and Jacob Larsson from the roster.

• Arizona D Michael Stone (upper body) likely will miss his fourth consecutive game Friday.
