Anaheim Ducks: Week In Review Nov. 24-30

Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports

Each week, Pucks of A Feather recaps the week that was for the Anaheim Ducks, through the eyes of the writers here at POF.

With their first matchup December 3, the Ducks have waited to display their jerseys for their matchup with the Los Angeles Kings at Dodger Stadium. With the wait almost over, Sean gives us an idea of what they might look like.

After missing nearly a month, Saku Koivu returned to the lineup against the Calgary Flames and instantly made an impact, assisting on two goals and excelling in the faceoff dot.

The Ducks have locked up Nick Bonino on a three year contract, a great deal for both sides, as Bonino is enjoying his best season of his career.

I continued a look at the Ducks’ farm system, with an in-season profile on Wisconsin center and World Junior Hockey Championship hopeful, Nic Kerdiles.

What has been the key to success so far this year for the Ducks? Blocked shots, which at the time of the article, they were third in the NHL in blocking shots, and their effort doing so against Phoenix was one of the big reason they won.
