The Anaheim Ducks are back at Honda Center, and the Chicago Blackhawks are waiting in the wings. Their fifth win is just within reach, giving the Ducks plenty of incentive to play hard and bring it home tonight.
The Anaheim Ducks are finally back home after an incredible five-game road trip. Earning eight out of ten points, they did what most of us thought was impossible. With all of us still riding on the adrenaline of their 5-1 comeback in Washington, we are hopeful the Ducks can pull off another win tonight.
The Blackhawks have blown in from the Windy City and are looking for their first win in four games. Both teams have had plenty of rest, not playing since Sunday. Will the current string of losses propel the Blackhawks to play harder or will the Ducks recent revelations about their identity lead them to victory once again?
Did you know? During the 1993 expansion draft, the Mighty Ducks drafted left wing, Stu Grimson, from the Chicago Blackhawks. During his two stints with the team, he only has 13 points accredited to his name in 231 games.
Today in Ducks History: Cam Fowler (27) and Nick Ritchie (23) share a birthday today. Happy Birthday to the both of them. A win tonight would be the perfect way to celebrate!
