The Anaheim Ducks recently lost to the San Jose Sharks, yet the final score was not a good indicator of their play. For the second game in a row, the Ducks were down early again. Even though the Ducks battled back and pulled within a goal late, they lost to another Pacific Division rival, costing valuable points in the standings.
At the quarter season mark, the Ducks were flying high, surprisingly sitting atop the Pacific. With a record of 14-7-1, a .659 points percentage, and a +11-goal differential, the Ducks made even the most jaded of fans begin to believe.
