As the Anaheim Ducks prepare to face the Tampa Bay Lightning, the first period will be crucial for setting the tone. The Ducks have shown a mixed bag of performances in their recent games, with a notable victory against the Pittsburgh Penguins on October 14, where they scored 4 goals. This offensive prowess, led by players like Frank Vatrano and Chris Kreider, will need to be on full display from the start. The Ducks' ability to capitalize on power plays, as seen in their previous games, could be a deciding factor against the Bolts.
