Boston vs Anaheim Prediction 23 October 2025
🔊 Boston will host Anaheim on their ice in another NHL regular season game day. The hosts didn’t immediately, but fairly quickly, slipped into a full-fledged slump. The visitors, on the other hand, didn’t start perfectly, but performed adequately-something few expected from them. The Ducks’ ambitions are beginning to rise.
Head-to-Head
In 2025, the rivals clashed twice, with Anaheim coming out on top both times. The Ducks first secured an overtime victory (3-2) in Massachusetts, followed by a commanding home win (6-2). Center Leo Carlsson, who remains a key player for the visitors, netted three goals during those encounters.
Head-to-head statistics Boston - Anaheim
Boston Bruins Team Overview
Marco Sturm's squad kicked off the season with two wins, but then veered off course. Five consecutive regulation losses are certainly not what was expected here. The team has already conceded 26 goals, making them one of the worst in the East by this metric. Despite a respectable offensive output of 24 goals, they have yet to make up for their defensive lapses. It's hard to believe that the team will be able to drastically alter their trajectory in the standings.

Anaheim Ducks Team Overview
The California club is currently surprising everyone with their tenacity. Anaheim has long been considered a perennial underdog, but they are gradually shedding that label. With three wins in six games and seven points collected, it's a respectable start. Admittedly, their scoring (only 19 goals) still leaves room for improvement, but the progress compared to last season is clear to see. New head coach Joel Quenneville knows his craft.

🏒 Projected Lineups
Boston: Swayman - McAvoy, Lohrei - Pastrnak, Lindholm, Geekie
Anaheim: Dostal - Lacombe, Helleson - Gauthier, Carlsson, Killorn
🥅 Goalies
Boston's goaltender Jeremy Swayman has appeared in only five regular-season games and hasn't impressed with his efficiency. The American averages a save percentage of just 90.3%, which is clearly not enough in the current landscape.
Anaheim's netminder Lukas Dostal maintains a fairly average level typical for him. The 2024 World Champion with the Czech national team averages a 90.4% save percentage. However, this is more than sufficient for his teammates to rack up points.
Editor's Prediction
Despite their current struggles and numerous defeats, the home team's offensive prowess remains unquestionable. Marco Sturm's squad has scored at least three goals in each of their last five home games. While these performances haven't always translated into victories, their scoring ability is undeniable. On the other hand, Anaheim's defense has been far from ideal, conceding 20 goals over six matches. Our bet is on Boston's individual total to exceed 2.5 goals.No comments
