If a loss left a bad taste in the Ducks’ mouths, there’s nothing like a pair of tasty matchups to clean their palate.
Not that the Ducks are licking their lips at an upcoming Western Canada challenge, but they will gladly forget about an atypical loss to the Winnipeg Jets and dive back into the Pacific Division fray with games at the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday and Calgary Flames on Sunday.
The first-place Ducks are one point ahead of Edmonton, and Calgary and the San Jose Sharks are bunched closely behind in standings that change daily, often within hours.
