Anaheim found a way to squeeze some points out of these past four games of the first homestand against a good Minnesota Wild and an even better Colorado Avalanche, bringing the Ducks to the .500 mark (2-2-2) after six games.
It was the Swedes who helped the Ducks rout the Avalanche tonight, with Jakob Silfverberg scoring just 58 seconds into the game for his first of the season. An Adam Henrique faceoff win in the offensive zone lead to a loose puck and a quick shot from Silfverberg, zipping it right past an unsuspecting Philipp Grubauer to put the Ducks on the board.
