The Ducks closed out their homestand with a thrilling come from behind win against Detroit. Anaheim scored first in the opening minutes of the game, but the Red Wings scored the next three goals. Despite being down 3-1, the Ducks scored the next four goals and ended up winning 6-4.

Six different Ducks players scored in the win against the Red Wings. Cutter Gauthier finally got his first NHL goal and hopefully there will be more to come. Olen Zellweger had a three point game with a goal and two assists.
