Nashville turns tide with dominant second, Ducks drop road trip opener.
Last season the Anaheim Ducks were able to survive all too often poor performances in second periods with dynamic offense to rally in the final frame.
For a scoring-challenged team at the start of the 2015-16 season it was too much to overcome, as the Ducks opened their five-game road trip with a 5-1 loss to the Nashville Predators Thursday night at Bridgestone Arena.
Head coach Bruce Boudreau elected to reward Anton Khudobin for a solid performance in the win Sunday against the Wild with the first start of the road trip.
