үӯ ABOUT THE DUCKS

Anaheim arrives in Winnipeg fresh from a Friday night visit to St. Paul to fact the Minnesota Wild as part of a mini two-game road trip.

The Ducks roster now has a Manitoba feel, after Anaheim traded Jesse Blacker and a conditional pick to Florida for Dauphin product Colby Robak, who adds depth to their blue-line. Robak joined his new squad in Minnesota for Friday’s game. The Ducks also added Eric Brewer in a deal with Tampa this week, but Brewer then suffered a broken foot in his second game with Anaheim that will keep him out 4-6 weeks.

Heading into Friday’s game the Ducks had 11 regulation/overtime wins this season, with a different player scoring the game-winning goal in the 11 victories, including Ryan Getzlaf, William Karlsson, Corey Perry, Matt Beleskey, Ryan Kesler, Sami Vatanen, Devante Smith-Pelly, Nate Thompson, Cam Fowler, Patrick Maroon and Kyle Palmieri.

Since the start of last season, the Ducks own the top regular-season record in the NHL at 70-26-13 and the league’s best road record at 32-15-6 (prior to Friday).

Notable: Frederik Andersen became the first goaltender in NHL history to win 26 of his first 31 decisions (26-5-0) and also opened the season with six straight W’s.

Now that St. Louis defenceman Jay Bouwmeester had his streak of consecutive games snapped against Winnipeg last month at 738, Ducks forward Andrew Cogliano is now the NHL’s active Ironman leader at 567 and counting. Cogliano is the fifth player in NHL history and first since Doug Jarvis to play 500 consecutive games from the start of his NHL career.
