Every time there is an extended break for any team, there is always talk about whether or not said team will start slow in their first game back. With Anaheim having five days since their last game against the Oilers, the rust showed big-time early in the first period. Missed passes, lack of awareness, and just some generally poor play hurt Anaheim early in the game. A better team probably takes a 1-2 goal lead off of that kind of play starting a game.
Best: Penalty Kill
While I know some of the calls against Anaheim could be argued against, the Ducks stood up to the task.
