Anaheim Ducks: Celebrating 25 Years of Community Dedication

The Anaheim Ducks take on the antagonistic Boston Bruins tonight as they celebrate 25 years of community dedication.

The Anaheim Ducks finally broke their third losing streak on Wednesday night against the Vancouver Cancuks and are looking to carry that momentum into their game tonight against the Boston Bruins. Although the same issues were glaringly obvious during Wednesday nights game, the team looked more alive than they have all season.

• Who could the Anaheim Ducks consider presenting offer sheets to?
• Is Pierre-Luc Dubois on the cards for the rebuilding Anaheim Ducks?
• Making the case for the Anaheim Ducks to trade with the Edmonton Oilers
• Anaheim Ducks might benefit tremendously by trading John Gibson
• How close are the Anaheim Ducks to becoming contenders again?

He has had impressive showing both times he has been in net for the Anaheim Ducks. He came to the relief of Chad Johnson during their most recent game with the Philidelphia Flyers, saving 24 of 26 shots. While we only have a two-game sample size, he has made a much stronger case for himself to be the next backup for John Gibson.

Boyle is projected to be in net tonight with both John Gibson and Chad Johnson being out to injury. He will be a solid entity for the rest of his team as they continue their journey to find their “new normal.”
