THREE THINGS ABOUT THE OPPOSITION

1. Terry is crying: Troy Terry had never scored more than seven goals in an NHL season. The Ducks winger already has eight, and his 11-point streak of eight goals and six assists is the longest of the season. He scored the lead goal Sunday in a 4-1 win over St Louis and has a shooting accuracy of 32 percent.

2. Getzlaf continues to drive: Many miles on the hockey odometer, but the 36-year-old center is off to a fast start with 11 points (1-10) in his first 13 games and a 57.2 percent success rate in the head-to-head circle. . On October 31, he drew an assist for his 989 spot to surpass Teemu Selanne’s franchise mark.

3. Brown is the color of PP: Former Canucks assistant coach Newell Brown is making an expected impact in a sixth-overall power game that is making a difference on many nights. Creative Brown was a huge fan of the drop pass while in Vancouver and will likely draw other wrinkles on Tuesday.
