The Ducks checking line continues to fill the role of scoring line as well. Andrew Cogliano started off the scoring tonight for already his 7th goal of the year after totaling only 9 last year. Kesler would score his team-leading 12th goal midway through the 3rd to help keep the Ducks in it. Kesler, Cogliano, and Silfverberg combined for 6 points on the night.
Worst: Ducks 1st Line
Anaheim’s top line was invisible. Getzlaf continued his streak of bad drop passes and Perry seemed to be hiding from the puck. We all know that the twins are the backbone of this team and we’ve seen what happens when one is absent from the lineup, but they might as well have been in the press box for the first 55 minutes of that game.
