In a game between the Ducks and the Predators, Urho Vaakanainen scored his first career goal, breaking a tie and leading the Ducks to a 3-2 road win. The Ducks have had six third-period comebacks in their first 15 games. Radko Gudas had a significant performance with a Gordie Howe hat trick. The Avalanche dominated the Ducks, winning 8-2, with eight Avs players having multi-point nights. Lukas Dostal faced a tough night in goal for the Ducks.
No comeback tonight for Ducks as it falls apart in the third period against the Avalanche, who score five times in the third and roll 8-2. Eight Avs had multi-point nights. Ducks weren't in this one really and Lukas Dostal took the brunt of it.
The Ducks have six (!!!) third period comeback wins in 15 games this season. Can Colorado keep that number there?
