*Writers Note: I'm covering for Jaye here who is doing his best to get the word out on our blog here by taking part in a podcast*

Anaheim10:12, Bobby Ryan 1 (Ryan Getzlaf)

So far up to this point the Ducks have greatly struggled but they partially redeemed themselves in their home opener. Anaheim reduced mistakes and in the 3rd period took advantage of the Canucks mistakes to get their first win of the year, it is also the first time this season the Ducks have scored more than one goal and allowed less than four. There were a combined 4 PPG in the game two for each side but it was two 5 on 5 goals in the middle of the 3rd that put Anaheim ahead for good.

3 Stars:
1- Ryan Getzlaf
2- Daniel Sedin
3- Bobby Ryan
