ANAHEIM — It was tough to figure out what to make of the Ducks on Wednesday nighttime at Honda Centre. They welcomed Zach Aston-Reese and Dominik Simon to their lineup after Monday's merchandise with the Pittsburgh Penguins, and then crossed their fingers and hoped for the all-time.
The Ducks certainly had a new look during their 4-two loss to the Chicago Blackhawks, and but some of it had to exercise with General Manager Pat Verbeek's flurry of moves before the NHL's merchandise deadline Mon. Injuries and illnesses contradistinct the lineup in ways that Verbeek hadn't envisioned.
For starters, Ryan Getzlaf, Jakob Silfverberg and Urho Vaakanainen remained on injured reserve because of various ailments. Sonny Milano as well couldn't play because of an injury. Josh Mahura, Anthony Stolarz and Troy Terry sat out because of illnesses unrelated to COVID-xix.
In improver, the Ducks returned forward Danny O'Regan to their AHL squad, the San Diego Gulls, and recalled defenseman Brendan Guhle from the Gulls. Lukas Dostal also was summoned from San Diego to serve as goaltender John Gibson's backup against the Blackhawks.
The Ducks' lineup Wednesday was fabricated upwardly of simply eight skaters plus Gibson who were in their opening-night lineup back on Oct. 13.
"We've had a lot of turnover hither," Ducks coach Dallas Eakins said, acknowledging the obvious. "You're on the bench and yous are looking for Getzlaf and you are looking for Milano and you are looking for Terry. We want to become those guys back as before long as we tin, but we'll see how information technology goes."
The Ducks adjacent play the Sharks on Saturday in San Jose.
On Midweek, the Ducks rallied from deficits of 1-0 and 2-1, cheers to goals in the first and third periods from Sam Carrick, earlier Dylan Strome scored the tie-breaking goal for the Blackhawks at 16:10 of the final menses. Trevor Zegras assisted on Carrick's 2nd goal, setting a club rookie tape with his 31st.
Cam Fowler had prepare the rookie record with 30 assists in 2010-11.
There was no echo of the disjointed game the Ducks played in the viii-3 beatdown they suffered at the hands of the Blackhawks in their March 8 game in Chicago. That'due south not to say the Ducks were sharp considering they weren't, and their winless streak reached eight games (0-6-2).
The Ducks started with good intentions Wednesday, winning battles for loose pucks and containing the Blackhawks until their penalty kill permit them downwards again. Chicago took a two-1 lead going into the 3rd menstruum on the strength of power-play goals by Taylor Raddysh in the kickoff and Patrick Kane in the 2nd.
On Mon, the Ducks gave upwards 3 power-play goals in a 6-3 loss to the Nashville Predators.
On Wed, Carrick tied the score, 1-1, with his 10th goal of the flavour and tied it again, 2-2, with his 11th in his 100th career game in the NHL. Information technology was a meaningful milestone for Carrick, who and then told reporters that reaching 100 games was more than meaningful for his family than for himself.
"I'one thousand 30 years former, it's my tenth twelvemonth as a pro, so it might not seem like a lot for some people, but for me, information technology's a pretty large bargain, and more importantly for my family, besides," Carrick said. "It'south pretty absurd. It would have been nice to get the win. My career has been a rollercoaster, to say the least."
Carrick had never played more than 16 games in a season in the NHL, spending most of his career in the AHL with teams in Toronto, Rockford (Illinois) and San Diego before earning a regular shift this season with the Ducks. He has set NHL career highs with 11 goals, seven assists and 53 games.
His 2-goal game was the offset of his NHL career.
"I'thou extremely proud of him," Eakins said. "I've known Sammy since he turned pro. Information technology'south been my privilege to coach that young man and watch him grow into not only a actor but into a husband and into a male parent. He has a family unit now. It's been nothing simply my privilege to watch his piece of work ethic, his dust."
