How the Ducks’ Surprising 7-3 Victory Over the Panthers Could Change the Season’s Outcome
Here are my notes:
The Ducks came out of the gate a bit out of sync, struggling to build plays from their own end against one of the NHL’s top forechecking teams. The game opened up soon after, but favored the Panthers early.
The Ducks made some adjustments, behind some opportunistic goals from Cutter Gauthier, and dialed in a bit of their freewheeling, ultimately dictating pace with a relentless forecheck, clever rush sequences, and elongated time on the cycle.
They rode the emotions of extracurricular skirmishes and capitalized on the open ice created from non-5v5 play.
