Anaheim Outlook

The Anaheim Ducks are coming off an impressive 3-1 win over the San Jose Sharks at Honda Center. Troy Terry and Leo Carlson scored on the power play. The Ducks held a 2-1 advantage late in the game and Alex Killorn scored an empty net goal to make it a 3-1 final.

An early concern for Anaheim has been their power play. They had gone 0-for-17 with the extra man in the first five games, but they finally got not one, but two, in the last game. The Ducks are currently 8.7% efficient with the extra man. Shorthanded they are sitting at 77.8% efficiency. The Ducks at even strength have a CF% of 43.91% and a FF% of 44.65%.

Troy Terry leads the team in scoring with four goals.

Team/Injury News:

John Gibson (appendix) has been practicing, but the timeline for his return is unknown.
