In the wake of three straight losses, the Ducks are making some personnel changes.
Defenseman Korbinian Holzer and forward Max Friberg were reassigned to San Diego. Center Chris Wagner was waived. If he clears waivers, Wagner will head to San Diego as well.
Coming up from the Gulls are Nick Ritchie and Michael Sgarbosa. A former first round pick, Ritchie has been tearing it up in his first minor league season. He has 12 points in his first 12 games. The hope is that Ritchie can add some spark to the struggling Duck offense.
This may be the beginning of something bigger. How long can general manager Bob Murray remain patient with his team's performance?
