KEY GAME INFORMATION
PITTSBURGH: LAST SEASON: 51-24-7, 109 points. Won Metropolitan Division. Lost to New York Rangers in Eastern Conference semifinals.
COACH: Mike Johnston (first season, first NHL season).
ADDED: D Christian Ehrhoff, F Patric Hornqvist, C Nick Spaling, F Blake Comeau, G Thomas Greiss.
LOST: F James Neal, D Brooks Orpik, D Matt Niskanen.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Sidney Crosby. Sid ''the Kid'' isn't so young anymore. It's been nearly a decade since he arrived in Pittsburgh and helped rescue a floundering franchise. He rolled to his second MVP Award in 2013-14 after racking 36 goals and 68 assists for a league-leading 146 points. A wrist injury slowed him in the postseason. He scored just once in 13 playoff games.
OUTLOOK: New coach, new general manager but same old expectations in Pittsburgh. It's been more than five years since they lifted the Stanley Cup, a drought that cost former coach Dan Bylsma his job. Johnston brings in a more structured philosophy. There may be growing pains early, but if Crosby and Evgeni Malkin are healthy, the Penguins will again be a threat to make a deep playoff run.
ANAHEIM: LAST SEASON: 54-20-8, 116 points. Won Pacific Division. Lost to Los Angeles in second round of playoffs.
COACH: Bruce Boudreau, 4th season with Ducks, 111-55-22; 8th overall in NHL.
ADDED: C Ryan Kesler, C Nate Thompson, D Clayton Stoner, LW Dany Heatley.
LOST: G Jonas Hiller, RW Teemu Selanne, C Saku Koivu, C Nick Bonino, C Mathieu Perreault, C Daniel Winnik, D Luca Sbisa, D Stephane Robidas.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Devante Smith-Pelly. After bouncing between the NHL and the minors for three years, the speedy, tough-nosed right wing is poised to build on his breakthrough effort as Anaheim's top goal-scorer in the postseason. He's likely to get a chance to contribute on the deep Ducks' top three lines.
OUTLOOK: Kesler and Thompson make the Ducks tougher down the middle, and this deep, balanced club should be in position to contend for the Stanley Cup again. Anaheim is taking its biggest risk in net, hoping Frederik Andersen and prospect John Gibson are ready for full-time NHL duty.

*Penguins-Ducks Preview* ========================

By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer

Pittsburgh (36-18-9) at Anaheim (42-17-7), 10:00 p.m. EDT

Better goaltending has anchored the Anaheim Ducks' latest surge to the top of the NHL.

They're hoping the improved play in net helps them avenge an ugly season-opening loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins when they meet again Friday night.

The Ducks (42-17-7) appear to have the Pacific Division all but wrapped up with a double-digit lead over second-place Vancouver and are making a push for home ice throughout the playoffs. Wednesday's 3-1 win over East-leading Montreal was their fourth in a row and seventh in eight games.

John Gibson made 37 saves and has stopped 96 of 100 shots in three starts during his three-game winning streak. Frederik Andersen stopped 29 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win at Arizona.

Anaheim has held opponents to five goals in the four victories after previously allowing 2.73 per game, ranking 20th.

"That's huge. Every time you have a goalie playing every night who gives you a chance to win," defenseman Francois Beauchemin, who scored his fourth goal during the Ducks' 7-1-0 stretch, told the league's official website. "Gibson kept us in it. He made some big saves, breakaway saves. We're fortunate to have two big goaltenders that can do that."

Gibson faced 39 shots in a 6-4 road loss to the Penguins on Oct. 9 in his only start against them. Andersen has never faced Pittsburgh.

The Penguins (36-18-9) had also won four straight prior to a 3-1 loss at Colorado on Wednesday. Evgeni Malkin scored his sixth goal in six games while Sidney Crosby's point streak ended at four.

Pittsburgh outshot the Avalanche 24-13 over the final two periods after putting only five on net in the first 20 minutes.

"We didn't make things as difficult as we should, but when we did get some good chances (Semyon Varlamov) made some key saves," Crosby told the league's official website. "We would have liked to put more pressure on him, but he did make some good saves when he needed to."

The Ducks will match up against their former defenseman Ben Lovejoy, whom they traded to Pittsburgh on Monday for Simon Despres. Despres has one assist in two games for Anaheim while Lovejoy debuted against Colorado along with Ian Cole, whom the Penguins acquired from St. Louis.

They combined for seven hits with Lovejoy playing alongside Derrick Pouliot while Cole was paired with Rob Scuderi.

"They both complemented their partners and read the game properly," assistant coach Gary Agnew told the team's official website. "It was a tough night for them to come in like that. I thought both Cole and Lovejoy did a good job."

Anaheim's power play has gone cold with one goal over the last 11 games. The club is drawing 1.6 chances per game in that span compared to 3.3 previously.

Corey Perry has gone a career-worst 43 straight games without a goal on the advantage. Two of his three goals in the season's first matchup came on the power play, however, and he has 10 goals and three assists in 10 career meetings.

The Ducks are trying to avoid going without a power-play goal in seven straight home games for the first time since a 10-game drought from Feb. 17-March 16, 2003.

Pittsburgh, which has won three in a row in the series, has given up a power-play goal in its last three games.

Crosby has five goals and three assists in his last five versus Anaheim.
