TEAM ANALYSIS

Regular-season numbers	Strengths	Weaknesses	Key Player
Anaheim Mighty Ducks 6th in West 43-27-12 98 points Key Numbers GF: 251 (13th) GA: 222 (7th) PP: (18.1%)15th PK: (83.5%)13th » Key Numbers	Despite their improvements on offence, the Ducks rely heavily on a suffocating defence. Anaheim was the seventh-stingiest team in goals allowed in the regular season and has only grown tougher in the playoffs &3150; the Ducks sports a league-leading 1.82 goals-against average in the playoffs, which is over half a goal better than second-place New Jersey. Rookie goalie Ilya Bryzgalov has been sensational for Anaheim, posting a sparkling .967 save percentage and miniscule 0.87 GAA, each tops in the league by a wide margin, in the first two rounds.	Offensively, the Ducks are less than high-flying. True, they rank third in goals in the playoffs, but that's due mostly to the 16 goals they scored in a four-game sweep of porous Colorado in the second round. In the regular season Anaheim finished 13th in goals scored and had only three players (Teemu Selanne, Andy McDonald and Joffrey Lupul) tally at least 20. Getting their tepid power play going would be a good way for the Ducks to jump-start their attack. Despite their ability to draw penalties, the Ducks' power play ranks 13th out of 16 playoff teams.	Joffrey Lupul: The 23-year-old winger from Fort Saskatchewan, Alta. leads Anaheim in post-season goals with seven, thanks in large part to his four-goal outburst in Game 3 of the Colorado series. Against Edmonton in the conference final, the Ducks will be looking for a more consistent performance at both ends of the rink from Lupul, whose 28 regular-season goals ranked third on the team, and whose minus-13 rating was the worst. » Complete Stats
Edmonton Oilers 8th in West 41-28-12 95 points Key Numbers GF: 249 (15th) GA: 242 (12th) PP: 18.1% (14th) PK: 84.1% (8th) » Key Numbers	The Oilers' surprising record on the road should give them confidence heading into the Western Conference final. Edmonton finished the regular season with the third-best road record (22-13-7) in the conference and continued that success into the playoffs, as the team won two of three from Detroit at the Joe Louis Arena in the first round. While the Oilers dropped the first two games in San Jose in round two, their big Game 5 win at HP Pavilion enabled them to advance against Anaheim.	Despite an improved penalty-killing unit that limited San Jose to only two goals in six games, Edmonton showed little discipline in committing 16 infractions in its last two games against the Sharks. With the Oilers facing the defensive-minded Ducks in the Western Conference final, they can ill-afford to spend much time in the penalty box, especially if Anaheim jumps out to an early lead.	Chris Pronger:Though he suffered a foot injury shortly before the Torino Olympics, Pronger had a solid regular season for the Oilers and was even better against Detroit as he scored seven points in six games. However, Pronger saved his best hockey for the second-round against San Jose as helped limit the scoring chances of offensive stalwarts Joe Thornton, Jonathan Cheechoo and Patrick Marleau. Pronger has certainly made his presence felt in his first season with the Oilers » Complete Stats
