They are only 25th overall\u00a0in goals against (133) and 24th in save percentage (90.3). Bishop has a respectable save percentage of 90.8 percent, but in\u00a0nine of his 23 games this season, he went below 90.<\/p>\n<p>As for their offense, although two of their guys &#8211; Nikita Kucherov (40) and Victor Hedman (38) &#8211; are both in the top point-getters in the league,\u00a0with Kucherov also inside the top 20 of goal scores (17), they are just hovering around the league average &#8211; 125 goals, 14th in the NHL.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Lightning have won four straight games against the Ducks, and in last year&#8217;s second straight season-series sweep, the combined score was 7-1.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on the Anaheim Ducks\u00a0(24-13-9, 57 pts)<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/basketball\/ncaa-mens\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>All Game Lines Here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For the fourth time this season, the Ducks followed up a three-game winning streak with a loss, as the St. Louis Blues edged them out in OT this past Saturday, 2-1.\u00a0Despite the defeat, though, they are still first in the Pacific Division.<\/p>\n<p>Offensively, Anaheim is similarly productive with\u00a0Tuesday&#8217;s\u00a0visitors. At 123 goals so far this season, they are only two short of tying Tampa Bay&#8217;s total scores.<\/p>\n<p>On defense, goalie John Gibson has been producing good numbers. He&#8217;s 17-10-8 this season, with a 92-percent save percentage (2.33 GAA). His stats over the last seven games are even better: 5-1-1, 95.6 save percentage (1.42 GAA). Through his play, the Ducks are ranking 10th overall in goals against.<\/p>\n<p>As they try to break their four-game losing streak to\u00a0the Lightning, head coach Jon Cooper may eye Ryan Kesler and Rickard Rakell to provide the goods. The two Centres both own 18 goals this season, which are good for top 12 in the NHL &#8211; Kesler also paces the team in points, with 37.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Anaheim wins,
