Anaheim took a whopping SEVEN penalties against Vancouver (Anaheim ranked second in the NHL in times shorthanded at 136 only trailing Calgary [145]). And while you can argue that the tripping penalty against Cogliano was just a terrible call, I don’t think you can really say the same about the other six. Anaheim was understandably tired of playing last night in Calgary, but this sort of undisciplined play will get Anaheim blown out night in and night out. Anaheim’s 15th ranked penalty kill hasn’t proven this year that it’s something the Ducks can really lean on. Against teams with better than a 14% conversion rate on the powerplay, the Ducks will give up 3 or 4 powerplay goals if they’re taking this many penalties consistently.
