The Ducks took on the Colorado Avalanche in an attempt to woo Matt Duchene and convince him that Anaheim should be his new home. That, uh, could have gone better. Nic Kerdiles drew back into the lineup in place of Ryan Getzlaf, with Bieksa and Boll miraculously somehow being dropped out of the lineup as healthy scratches. The head coach is still Carlyle, right? Is....is he ok? Let’s take a look at how the Ducks ended up taking 8 (eight!) penalties and only receiving 2 power plays.
1st Period:
The Ducks started this game without Getzlaf, who was a late decision to not play due to a lingering lower-body injury.
