Anaheim Outlook

The Ducks had their four game point streak snapped last contest against the Kraken. Anaheim will square off with them again, but this time in Seattle. The Ducks played well enough to win on Monday night, but they gave up two quick goals to start the third period and couldn’t recover. Anaheim was without Leo Carlsson in the third period after a dirty hit by Tye Kartye and it’s unknown how long he will be out.

Anaheim has been getting contributions offensively from several players as of late.

Brett Leason has 7 points (2 G + 5 A) in his last 7 games.

Trevor Zegras has 5 points (2G + 3A) in his last 5 games.

Cutter Gauthier has 4 points (2 G + 2 A) in his last 7 games.

And on defense, Olen Zellweger has 6 points (2 G + 4 A) in his last 5 games.
