Ducks open season-long road trip in Detroit

Feb 20, 2009 - 3:18 PM Anaheim (28-26-5) at Detroit (38-12-8), 7:30 pm EST

DETROIT (Ticker) -- The Anaheim Ducks will open a critical six-game road swing against the Detroit Red Wings on Friday in a meeting between the last two Stanley Cup champions.

Two years removed from their championship season, the Ducks are in ninth place in the Western Conference - one point out of the final playoff spot.

Anaheim starts their longest trip of the campaign at Joe Louis Arena, where the Ducks have had little success in their 15-year history. Anaheim has posted a dismal 3-20-3 all-time record in Detroit.

The Ducks will try to end that trend and avoid a third consecutive loss. Ryan Getzlaf netted a goal and set up two others during Wednesday's 4-3 setback to the Los Angeles Kings.

The defending champion Red Wings avoided a third straight defeat Wednesday with a 6-2 victory over the Nashville Predators.

Captain Nicklas Lidstrom and Johan Franzen each recorded two goals and an assist for Detroit, which owns a 21-4-3 record at home this season.
