*6* SURE SHOT on Anaheim Ducks.

The Toronto Maple Leafs will be looking for a third consecutive win overall and seventh in the last eight meetings with the Ducks as they open a three-game California road-trip at Anaheim Wednesday night. It's not a good time to face the surging Ducks though, and this looks like a reasonable price on the home-team.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Anaheim's Special Teams - The Ducks have won four of their last five much thanks to excellent performances from both special teams. They're 6-for-11 on the man advantage and 17-for-18 on the penalty kill in that span.

2. John Gibson - The Ducks' netminder has posted a 0.75 GAA and .963 SV% with two shutouts over a personal four-game winning streak. He's 6-2-1 with a 1.53 GAA in nine appearances home at the Duck Pond this season.

3. X-Factor - Corey Perry ended a three-game goal-drought with a tally in Sunday's 4-1 win against Winnipeg. He scored a hat-trick in a 4-0 win in his lone match-up with Toronto last season.
