Cam Fowler earned two assists, his 398th and 399th career points, his third multi-point effort the last five games (2-5=7, +3). Jakob Silfverberg scored his seventh goal of 2022-23 and 148th goal as a Duck to surpass Bobby Ryan (147) for sole possession of seventh on the franchise’s all-time goals list. Troy Terry scored his 14th goal, the game-tying goal, in his return to the lineup following a seven-game absence due to injury. Isac Lundestrom and Derek Grant (empty net) each netted their third goal of the campaign. Dmitry Kulikov recorded his fifth point the last five games (1-4=5, +4). Kevin Shattenkirk also tallied his fifth point the last five games with an assist (2-3=5). Colton White tallied his fourth assist to tie his career high for assists in a single season (also four in 2021-22 w/NJD). Max Comtois also earned an assist, his fifth of 2022-23. Ryan Strome faced his brother, Dylan Strome, for the first time as a Duck, marking his seventh win in seven career meetings (7-0-0).
