Anaheim Outlook

The Ducks returned home after a terrible road trip and pulled out a 1-0 win against the Vancouver. Kevin Boyle got the start and stopped all 35 shots he faced. It appeared like the old Ducks were back as Ryan Getzlaf, Ryan Kesler, and Corey Perry all played an aggressive game. Getzlaf and Kesler both got into fights. Perry was the old pest that fans were used to seeing in the past. According to the Athletic’s Eric Stephens, there is a good chance that Boyle will start again tonight.

Jakob Silfverberg leads the team with 13 goals. Ryan Getzlaf has 11 goals and leads the team with 36 total points.

Injury Updates:

John Gibson(head & back) and Chad Johnson(head) both remain on the IR.

Kevin Roy practiced with the Ducks yesterday. He has been out all season as he had wrist surgery.

Roster Moves:

Troy Terry was recalled.

Adam Cracknell was reassigned to San Diego.
