The Anaheim Ducks faced the Vegas Golden Knights for the first time ever. What is sure to be a strong rivalry for years to come, the Ducks gave a less than spectacular performance to say the least. While they generated some quality chances, they never really got the momentum going. They were heavily outshot and their stellar goaltending couldn’t save them in this one. Let’s recap.
Ducks came out with some energy to start. They got a great chance just a few minutes in, as Jakob Silverberg got a loose puck in front and sent a spinning backhand on net, but Maxime Legace made a nice save with the right pad.
