The Ducks got outplayed in just about every aspect of the game last night against the Colorado Avalanche. They conceded eight power plays while only drawing two and failed to score on either of their opportunities. The one goal that Anaheim did come away with was shorthanded from Brandon Montour. So what does this all mean?
It means that special teams (especially the power play) are still very much an issue for the Ducks, and something that they will need to improve sooner rather than later. Obviously, not having most of their key players and goalscorers can hinder their chances of making the power play as successful as it can be, but there’s still a feeling that the team that the Ducks are fielding can be better than they have been.
