For someone who has spent the past two weeks flying around the country, Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler picked a fitting place to spend his day off:
The National Air and Space Museum in Washington.
The Ducks stayed over in the nation’s capital Sunday, and perhaps taking in the history of aircraft was an apt metaphor. The journey is sometimes more important than the destination, and the Ducks want to respond in this cruel part of their schedule to bring some swagger back home.
They go from playing the best team in the Eastern Conference, the Washington Capitals — a 6-4 winner Saturday — to the best in the Western Conference on Tuesday at the Minnesota Wild.
