CLUTCH COMEBACKS: The Ducks co-lead the NHL with three third-period, multi-goal comebacks wins this season (also NYI), including Oct. 12 vs. SEA (5-4, OT win, trailed 4-2 with 15:51 in third), Oct. 30 vs. TOR (4-3 OT win, trailed 3-1 with 12:36 remaining) and Nov. 5 @ SJS (5-4 shootout win, trailed 4-2 with 9:33 remaining). The Ducks four multi-goal comeback wins this season rank second behind only Chicago. Anaheim’s comeback win over San Jose marked the second time in franchise history the club has come back from a multi-goal deficit in the final 5:00 of regulation in the regular season (also Dec. 7, 2016 vs. CAR). Anaheim has recorded four third-period, multi-goal comeback victories in a single regular season just three times in franchise history (six in 2014-15 and five in 2009-10 & 4 in 2013-14).
OT HEROICS: Anaheim is 3-1 in games decided in overtime this season, while earning victories in five of the seven contests that have required extra time (2-1 in shootouts). Anaheim’s three straight wins in OT to begin the season marked a franchise record, surpassing the two wins to begin a campaign (also 2010-10, 2008-09 and 1995-96). All three Ducks OT wins have come on home ice to lead the NHL in home OT wins, including Oct. 12 vs. SEA (Troy Terry GWG), Oct. 30 vs. TOR (Trevor Zegras GWG) and Nov. 15 vs. DET (Ryan Strome GWG). Strome (1-1=2) and Zegras (1-1=2) pace Anaheim in OT points, while Zegras is second among NHL leaders with two shootout goals and paces the NHL with eight shootout goals since the start of 2021-22.
TERRY TALK: Right wing Troy Terry leads Anaheim in points (10-14=24), goals and assists this season, recording 3-1=4 points his last four games and 6-9=15 points his last 15 outings. Terry ranks tied for sixth among NHL skaters in even-strength points (8-11=19) and tied for fourth in even-strength assists (11). Terry also has 3-1=4 points his last four games and 7-11=18 points his last 17 contests. He had a career-best five-game assist streak Oct. 30-Nov. 6 (1-7=8), surpassing his prior best of four straight games with an assist Nov. 9-16, 2021 (3-4=7). Terry is currently on pace for 86 points, which is ahead of his career high set last season (37-30=67 in 75 GP in 2021-22) and would stand as the highest single-season total by a Ducks skater since Ryan Getzlaf in 2013-14 (31-56=87 in 77 GP).
GENERATION Z: Center Trevor Zegras co-leads the Ducks in goals (8), while he ranks second among team leaders in points (8- 12=20) and assists. Zegras has three assists his last two games (0-3=3), points 1-7=8 points his last nine games and 1-9=10 points his last 12 overall. He has also scored 4-11=15 points his last 14 games and 6-11=17 points his last 18 outings. On Nov. 27 vs. SEA, he tied a career high with three assists (0-3=3), his third career three assist game, the most by a Ducks skater before the age of 22. His three points also tied his single-game career high (last: Feb. 19, 2022 @ VAN; 0-3=3). It was his fourth career three-point game, tying Ryan Getzlaf for the second-most three-point games by a Duck at age 21 and trailing only Paul Kariya (12). Zegras finished the month of November with 11 assists (2-11=13 in 14 GP), one of three Ducks players since 2013-14 to post at least 11 assists in a calendar month, joining Ryan Getzlaf (eight times; best: 17 in March 2017) and Corey Perry (12 in November 2016).
QUE RICO!: Center Adam Henrique has eight goals his last 13 outings (7-3=10), now third among team leaders in goals and tied for third in scoring overall (7-5=12). He recorded points in a season-long six straight games Nov. 5-19 (5-3=8), his best as a Duck and one short of his career-long point streak set over 10 years ago in seven straight contests with New Jersey Nov. 25-Dec. 8, 2011 (2-7=9). He scored goals in a season-best three straight games Nov. 5-12 (3-0=3, +3; missed Nov. 9 due to birth of first child), including his 100th goal as a Duck (100-90=190) Nov. 12 vs. CHI, becoming the 10th player in franchise history to reach the milestone.
CAM’S CORNER: Defenseman Cam Fowler has 2-9=11 points his last eight games, including four multi-point outings (three multi-assist). Since Nov. 15, Fowler’s 11 points (2-9=11 in 8 GP) lead all NHL defensemen and rank tied for eighth among all NHL skaters in that span. Fowler had a career-tying five-game point streak from Nov. Nov. 15-23 (2-6=8), matching his prior high set four prior times; last: Nov. 7-16, 2021; 1-4=5). The last Ducks defenseman with a longer run was Chris Pronger (six games, Oct. 29-Nov. 7, 2009; 3- 6=9). Fowler recorded three straight multi-point efforts Nov. 15-19 (1-5=6), joining San Jose’s Erik Karlsson (four straight multi-point games, Oct. 27-Nov. 3; 7-4=11) as the only defensemen in the NHL with three or more consecutive multi-point outings. Fowler is one of four defensemen in Ducks history to have had multiple points in three consecutive games and the first since Scott Niedermayer in 2008-09.
