Well, is it fair to say that the Anaheim Ducks had the Vegas Golden Knights' number this 2023-24 regular season? After their season-opening loss on Oct. 14 to the reigning Stanley Cup champions, the Ducks outscored the Golden Knights 13-5 and took the final three games of the season series. The wins were three of the Ducks' best performances of the season. The Golden Knights had a, for lack of a better word, golden opportunity to seal up third place in the Pacific Division.
Andrei Kuzmenko scored three goals, Nazem Kadri had a goal and two assists, and the Calgary Flames withstood Anaheim's third-period rally for a 6-3 victory over the Ducks on Friday night. Kuzmenko got his second career hat trick with two goals in the final 5:38 after Anaheim had trimmed Calgary's 4-0 lead to one goal.
Anaheim Stars: No question, Frank Vatrano is enjoying the most successful season of his NHL career and it isn't close. After piling up a previous-best points total of 41 (just last year), the 30-year-old is knocking it out of his own personal park in nearing 60 by campaign's end, including 33 goals and counting. When everyone's healthy - a challenge for Anaheim this year - Vatrano doesn't seem to be a consistent top choice for the No. 1 line. Fantasy managers who expect replication from Vatrano next season, particularly production-wise, could find themselves disappointed.
