The Anaheim Ducks are a team that could shine in the NHL’s new 3-on-3 overtime format. They have a ton of skilled offensive players that are complimented by a number of offensively gifted defensemen with great skating ability, the possibilities of 3-on-3 line combinations are endless.
The NHL has just announced that regardless of the final score at the end of regulation, each team will play 5 minutes of 3-on-3 sudden death overtime in selected preseason games, a “test run” type of situation.
The Ducks will test out the 3-on-3 in their preseason games against Colorado (September 22 and October 1) and Los Angeles (September 29).
