In a battle of the backups, the Ducks fight back

The Anaheim Ducks defeated the Boston Bruins by a final score of 7-5. In a game that featured questionable goaltending, multiple lead changes, a five-point night, and a fight, the Ducks inched up a little bit higher in the Pacific Division standings.

Mikael Granlund gets five

Acquired during the offseason, Granlund was penciled in to play in the top six for the Ducks. However, with Ryan Strome being on injured reserve to start the season, Granlund has been starting as the third line center for the team since game one. Other than being good in the faceoff circle, around 52% prior to the game, Granlund has not stood out during the early portions of this season.
