Anaheim Outlook

The Anaheim Ducks won their season opener last night 2-0 over the San Jose Sharks. The teams battled to a scoreless tie through two periods, but Isac Lundestrom broke through with a goal halfway through the third period. Anaheim held a 1-0 lead late in the contest and Trevor Zegras scored an empty net goal to make it a 2-0 final.

The Ducks will look to improve their power play, which went 0-for-5 in the season opener. It’s not clear if Lukas Dostal will get the start again tonight or if newcomer James Reimer will be between the pipes.

Team/Injury News:

Jackson LaCombe did not play last night due to not feeling well.

John Gibson (appendix) has been riding the exercise bike and could start skating this weekend.
