Up next for the Ducks: Friday against Vancouver

VS. VANCOUVER

When: 7.

Where: Honda Center.

On the air: Radio: 830.

Records: Ducks 3-6-1, Canucks 7-6-0.

Record vs. Canucks (2008-09): 2-1-1.

Update: The Ducks have lost their last four games, falling to previously winless Toronto on Monday. Once worried about their power play and an offense that was shut out twice in three games, they also must fret about a struggling penalty-killing unit and a defense that has given up 21 goals in the last four games. Center Ryan Carter is expected to return after sitting out three games because of a bone bruise in his foot, but goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere remains day to day because of a sore groin. One bit of relief for the Ducks: They won’t have to face standout Vancouver goalie Roberto Luongo, who is out because of a cracked rib.
