Team Analysis
Anaheim Ducks
46-27-8 | 100 Points | 4th in West
Key Numbers

- PK: 83.2%
They are the defending champions, of course, and that matters. With a defence that includes Scott Niedermayer, Chris Pronger, Mathieu Schneider and Francois Beauchemin they stand ahead of the pack. They are also rock solid in goal, with two options there. They were awesome on home ice, are tough to play against overall, and keep the goals against down. When they get Corey Perry back from injury, along with Ryan Getzlaf they have two gifted forwards and a noted checking line led by Samuel Pahlsson. For a variety of reasons, their best players are well rested and this team is peaking.
Dallas Stars
45-30-7 | 97 Points | 5th in West
Key Numbers

- PK: 85.5%
The Stars continue to be a very stingy team defensively, with their penalty killing the best in the NHL for most of the season and their power play in the top 10. So all of that is good and they did improve themselves by adding Brad Richards, who is a former Conn Smythe Trophy winner, and that kind of playoff experience is important. When on, goaltender Marty Turco is very good and proved last spring, even though they lost to Vancouver, that he can can handle the playoff pressure.
