Anaheim Outlook

The Anaheim Ducks are off to a franchise tying best 4-1-0. The Ducks will finish up their road trip in Boston. Anaheim is currently 2-1-0 on the trip. They beat Detroit, then played in back-to-back contests losing in Pittsburgh and winning in Columbus.

The Ducks defense has been absolutely stellar only giving up six goals in five games. Anaheim is averaging 1.20 goals against which is the best in the league. The penalty kill is 93.8% efficient, which is third-best in the league. One glaring area of concern is the power play, which is still yet to convert this season.

Cam Fowler and Jakob Silfverberg lead the team in scoring with two goals.

Injury/Roster Updates:

Brendan Guhle(lower-body injury) did not play in Columbus and is day-to-day.

Sam Steel(mid-body injury) was activated of the IR.
