Fifteen: Anaheim (7th Pacific)

Corey Perry RW, Ryan Getzlaf C and Sami Vatanen D are carrying this team, as they should, but this season - they are not getting that support from solid second and third and even fourth liners. The defense is also not as solid. Hampus Lindholm D is certainly having a down year after showing great promise his first two seasons. That loss to the Canes feels like a big indication of where this team is.

Record: 11 - 13 - 5 27pts ( projected: 12 - 14 - 8 32pts)

Significant Injuries:
No current injuries.

Next Fifteen Days 12/14/2015 - 12/28/2015:
Thursday at Buffalo
Saturday at New Jersey
Monday at New York Islanders
Tuesday at New York Rangers
Sunday Philadelphia visits

East coast road trip. If they can win three of the four and then beat the Flyers at home, you have to think Boudreau and company can make a playoff push in the new year. I'm not convinced they are improving that much.

5 out of 10pts
1 - 1 - 3

Last Fifteen Days 11/29/2015 - 12/13/2015:
WIN 4 - 0 Vancouver
LOSS 1 - 2 Tampa Bay
WIN 1 - 0 San Jose
WIN 2 - 1 Pittsburgh
LOSS 1 - 5 Carolina

3 - 2 - 0
6 out of 10pts

Some good wins in this past fifteen days. But that effort against the Canes after 5 days off is a killer.
