The story of the game was the special teams battle. The Devils had five power plays, while the Ducks had seven, and under 40 minutes of the game was played at even strength. This proved to work in the Ducks’ favour. The Ducks went 2-for-7 seven with the man advantage while killing off all five penalties and scoring a shorthanded goal in the process. It’s great to see, considering the Ducks had the league’s worst power play last year, operating at an absurdly low 8.9 per cent. Another great sign is that Anaheim hasn’t had a problem finding the back of the net early on. The Ducks have scored at least three goals in each of their last six games. Among other players, a key reason for their offensive success has been the connection between Ryan Getzlaf and Troy Terry. Both forwards are off to extremely impressive starts, with Terry scoring seven goals and 12 points in 10 games and currently riding a nine-game point streak, while Getzlaf has nine assists and 10 points in 11 games. The key note on this: of Terry’s seven goals this season, Getzlaf has assisted on six of them. The two players are clearly clicking and that was obvious again last night. On Terry’s first goal, which came on the power play, Getzlaf made an excellent move to fake a shot and feed a great pass right to Terry, who finished it off.
