Best: Rakell’s Triumphant Return
I have to admit, I thought the newly minted 23-year-old millionaire would need a game or two to get back up to an NHL-level pace of play. I was very happy to be proven wrong, however, as Rakell put up 3 points (1g, 2a) in his season debut. Only one Swede left and Timon and Pumba will finally make this Ducks team complete.
Worst: Tempers Go Wild
I’m glad to admit that I have to nitpick for the worsts in this edition. The Ducks looked like a different team in more ways than one against the Kings, notably in the discipline department.
