The Ducks and the Jackets have both been plagued by inconsistencies to start the year. The first time these teams met, the Jackets put up an embarrassing four goals in the first period, which the Ducks were unable to recover from (at least it wasn’t as bad as the 10 they put up on Montreal...). The Ducks have had their fair share of inconsistencies as well with every game seemingly being a 4-1 win or a 1-4 loss. The real question will be, which versions of these teams will we see tonight?
The Ducks have their star defenseman Hampus Lindholm back for his first game of the season.
