Ducks aim to end struggles vs. Coyotes

Apr 6, 2008 - 1:58 PM Phoenix (38-37-6) at Anaheim (46-27-8) 8:00 pm EDT

ANAHEIM, California (Ticker) -- While home ice has treated the Anaheim Ducks kindly against most teams, it hasn't mattered against the Phoenix Coyotes.

The Ducks conduct their final regular-season test before defending their Stanley Cup title on Sunday when they host the Coyotes.

Anaheim, which has secured the fourth seed in the Western Conference, is 27-9-4 at the Honda Center and trails only Detroit for most home wins (28).

However, home ice hasn't made a difference against the Coyotes, who have taken the last four games here against the Ducks.

At least momentum will be on its side after Anaheim secured its second straight win in Saturday's 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Kings. Teemu Selanne scored twice while Jean-Sebastien Giguere turned away 28 shots to notch his 35th win this season.

Phoenix's success at the Honda Center runs contrary to the team's recent struggles on the road, where they had dropped four straight until the Coyotes skated past Dallas, 4-2, on Friday.

Rookie Daniel Carcillo notched his first career hat trick in the win.
