The Anaheim Ducks went into their Oct. 9 game against the Winnipeg Jets trying to recover from their first loss of the season, according to a game-day preview from NHL.com. Anaheim was 2-1-0 at the time. Winnipeg was 3-0-1. The game started a two-game road trip through Canada.
The preview listed puck drop for 5 p.m. PT, with coverage on Prime Video and FOX Los Angeles + (Channel 13 KCOP). A win would have given the Ducks three wins in their first four games. This preview came out before the game, so it does not include the final score.
In their previous game, played Wednesday against Edmonton, the Ducks took a 2-0 lead. The Oilers then scored five unanswered goals in the second period, which gave Anaheim its first loss of the year.
Head coach Joel Quenneville told NHL.com the team was in good shape to start the season. He called the defeat "a market correction" and said he wanted to see the team "respond in the correct way."
Forward Beckett Sennecke said the Ducks "came out flat in the second" and that the team can't take any period for granted.
Both Anaheim goals against Edmonton came on the power play. Leo Carlsson had two assists in that game. That made him the first player in Ducks history to record multiple points in each of his first three games, NHL.com reported.
