When the hockey team isn’t doing well, it’s only natural for fans’ eyes to focus primarily on hockey players from the top two elite bouts. However, the Anaheim Ducks have lost 6 of their 7 games this season and in this situation they need the points of all the players on the team as they go up.
The Anaheim Ducks completed their first trip of the season, when they ice skated in succession against the New York Islanders (1: 7), the New York Rangers (4: 6), the New Jersey Devils (2: 4), the Boston Bruins (1: 2) and finally the Detroit Red Wings (1: 5).
In the aforementioned matches, mostly forwards Max Comtois, Isac Lundestrom, Jakob Silfverberg, Max Jones, Derek Grant and Pavol Regenda played in the third and fourth formation, but only scored four goals in the first six duels of the season.
Dallas Eakins previously indicated that there will be lineup changes before the Tampa Bay Lightning game (2: 4), and he has fulfilled his words to the letter. He did it in an attempt to find the right spark among the players.
In place of Nathan Beaulieu, defender Simon Benoit started in third pair on the evening from Wednesday to Thursday, and for the second time this season, Slovakian Pavol Regenda has also been eliminated from the squad. His place was taken by Brett Leason, who played a duel in the third formation with Max Jones and Isac Lundestrom.
Jakob Silfverberg was included in the fourth lineup with Derek Grant and Adam Henrique. He has so far been part of the first two elite bouts, while playing the penultimate duel with the Detroit Red Wings in early formation with Trevor Zegras and Troy Terry, but had only one assist in the first six duels of the season.
“We launched it again” Dallas Eakins said after the game. “It is an ongoing process with our formations. We are still trying to find the right place, whether it is three-way attacking formations or defensive pairs.”
The Californian club is penultimate in the overseas Pro League with three points.
