In a closely contested match, the Ducks fell short with a final score of 1-2. Despite their efforts, this result leaves them looking to bounce back in their upcoming games.

Game Highlights

The game was intense from start to finish, showcasing the strengths and weaknesses of both teams. The Ducks managed to put up an impressive 31 shots on goal but were only able to convert one into scoring, reflecting a shooting percentage of just three percent. This lone goal came during even strength play and was credited to Ryan Strome, who also led his team with two hits and one takeaway in his 19:39 on ice.
