The best player on the ice was Ducks goalie John Gibson and his performance, coupled with the effective Ducks PP, results in a 4-1 Anaheim victory.

Notable:

2020 1st rounder Cole Perfetti made his NHL debut although because there was so much special teams work, he was limited to under ten minutes in the game.

Nikolaj Ehlers showed why he should be considered one of the most dynamic players in the game and Kyle Connor continues to show why you shouldn’t leave a net open near him.
