To be fair, the rankings aren't so useful, and in a 7 game series (or more to the point the two game sample these stats are from), 1% of corsi differential is basically nothing. It can be easily overwhelmed by shooting percentage. It just tells you these are very close games in terms of flow at even strength.
The scoring chance numbers are interesting though; if they can keep that margin up around 60-40 it would take some combination of bad luck, special teams delta, and being noticeably out-goaltended to lose under those circumstances. Overall the last two have gone the Ducks' way so far, of course.
