On Anaheim’s side, this win would be their fourth win in the last 24 contests.
Two records were also broken by Ducks players in this contest. Cam Fowler is now the franchise leader for assists by a defenceman and Ryan Miller is now the the leader for most wins by a U.S.-born goaltender in NHL history.
