Anaheim Outlook

The Ducks started off this season with a win in dramatic fashion. Troy Terry got the scoring started in the opening moments of the game, but then Seattle took over and held a 4-2 lead in the third period. The Ducks were able to rally to tie the game and force overtime. In the extra session, Terry would strike again with a backhand goal for the game winner. John Gibson earned an assist on the goal as he made a great outlet pass to spring Terry down the ice.

Roster Moves:

Noah Warren was reassigned to his junior team in Canada.

Injury News:

Urho Vaakanainen suffered an upper-body injury when he slammed into the boards during a preseason game against the San Jose Sharks. It’s unknown when he will be able to return.
