Best: Hampus Lindholm
It was great to see Anaheim’s Swedish defenseman back in the lineup. Even though it’ll take a few games for Lindholm to shake off the rust, he didn’t look out of place at all. He slot back onto the power play and penalty kill with ease. Hopefully as the season goes on he can match the stellar start of Fowler. However, it may take a new defense partner to get there..

Worst: Kevin Bieksa
Kevin Bieksa is now arguably Anaheim’s worst top six defensemen. His slow skating and inability to connect on passes make him a liability on the ice.
