Zegras is the first Ducks player since Ryan Getzlaf in 2017-18 (11-50=61) to record 40 assists in a season. Adam Henrique netted his third goal in two games, moving him into a tie for the team lead in goals. Ryan Strome recorded his third assist the past two games (1-3=4), his 25th of the campaign and his fourth consecutive 40-point effort and fifth of his career (15-25=40).
