The Anaheim Ducks end their preseason 3-3. They struggled to find their footing during the first three games against the San Jose Sharks and Arizona Coyotes. However, after the roster was shaved down to 43 men, they finally started to look like a cohesive team.
Going into Game 4 against Arizona, panic ensued at the news that the team’s star right wing, Corey Perry, would be sidelined for the next five months. Injury to his MCL and meniscus required surgery; it is estimated that he will make his return in February close to the trade deadline.
