The calendar has flipped to November meaning we are a month through the NHL season. And we here at Pucks of a Feather are putting on our professor hats. We will be grading the various Ducks players through the first month of the season. Be on the lookout for the forwards part 2 as well as the defensemen, goalies, and coaches.

The Anaheim Ducks finished October with a record of 5-6-3. This is a disappointing record in every imaginable way but even more disappointing since the Ducks once sat at 5-1-1. There are different opinions on what exactly is the cause for the Ducks quite extensive losing streak. But that is a different article for a different day. Today we’re handing out grades to one set of forwards with the next set and the rest of the team on the way. The players graded in this installment will be Ryan Getzlaf, Adam Henrique, Pontus Aberg, Brian Gibbons, Joe Blandisi, and Carter Rowney. So without further delay here we go:
