How the Ducks’ Surprising 4-1 Victory Over the Blues Could Rewrite Their Season Narrative
Quack of Dawn: Ducks Morning Report – 11/29/25
The Blues came into this game looking to extend their win streak to three games, but got word the morning before the game that forward Jimmy Snuggerud underwent surgery to repair a wrist injury and would be evaluated in six weeks. They also reported they’d be without forward Alexey Toropchenko, who will be out week-to-week after sustaining burns to his legs.
The Ducks coaching staff opted for a unique lineup in this game, electing to go with an 11/7 look, meaning 11 forwards and seven defensemen. Ryan Strome and Nikita Nesterenko were the scratches in this game, as was Petr Mrazek, who exited Sunday’s game with an apparent lower-body injury in the third period. The Ducks recalled goaltender Vyacheslav Buteyets from the San Diego Gulls earlier in the day to serve as backup.
