On paper, the Anaheim Ducks had a difficult homestand ahead of them after their recent road trip. The Buffalo Sabres had not yet lost in regulation, and the Carolina Hurricanes came into Honda Center with a 6-2 record. So far, the Ducks look unfazed and ran their record at Honda Center to 4-0 after defeating Carolina by a score of 4-2 on Friday night.
Nicolas Deslauriers was scratched again, as was the injured Brendan Guhle. Nick Ritchie joined them after getting fined for a roughing incident in the Buffalo game.
