Anaheim Outlook

The Ducks started out their home stand against the Chicago Blackhawks. Anaheim had a strong start to the game, but it was Chicago who scored first and built a 2-0 lead in the first period. The Ducks found themselves behind 3-0 to start the third and scored a pair of goals late in the contest, but ultimately lost 4-2.

Anaheim then squared off against the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday. The Ducks scored in the opening period with a power play goal by Olen Zellweger. The Canucks scored twice late in the period to gain momentum. They had a 3-1 advantage at the start of the third and cruised to a 5-1 victory.

The Ducks hosted the Minnesota Wild on Friday night. Anaheim got off to a slow start giving up three goals in the first period. The Ducks did get a couple goals in the third period, but it was too little too late. Anaheim ended up dropping that game 5-2.
