The #NHLJets, who were rested and should have had plenty of motivation, are getting caved in by an Anaheim team that played last night in Las Vegas and then travelled.
The result is going to be a third straight (well-deserved) loss in California.

Through 7 periods in California this week:

It actually would be even more lopsided if not for terrific goaltending from Connor Hellebuyck and Eric Comrie.

How about those Mighty Anaheim Ducks?
Old friend Jacob Trouba just scored the OT winner in Vegas - their 6th straight win.
🦆 are 10-3-1 and trail only Colorado for No. 1 team in NHL (point %).
Highest scoring team in league, too.
They host the slumping #NHLJets on Sunday.

#NHLJets HC Scott Arniel, speaking post-game with CJOB, was blunt and to the point.

Just a terrible loss by the #NHLJets. Far too much uninspired play and self-inflicted wounds.
Now 0-2-0 on season-long 6-game road trip.
They’ve scored just 1 goal combined.
9-5-0 overall.
Next: The NHL’s hottest, highest-scoring team in Anaheim, on Sunday.

That is some major message sending by the #NHLJets bench boss.
Looks like #NHLJets coach Scott Arniel has got the blender on max in San Jose as the 3rd period begins, tied 1-1.

Hey Grant. For the last few #NHLJets seasons there’s been a handful of road games we don’t go to. This year, the plan is to do 36 of 41 (plus playoffs…and I’ll be at the Olympics). The no-gos are the first 3 of this trip — @wiebesworld.bsky.social heading to Vancouver Monday — Dec. 6 and Dec. 31.
@mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.social Mike, may I kindly ask why home analysis for the 2 CA games when the WFP has prided itself on on-site coverage in the past?

The Anaheim Ducks might be the most fun team in the NHL.
They’re certainly the highest-scoring club.
Just put up a 7-spot in Dallas. Already the 4th time in 13 games they scored at least a converted TD.
#NHLJets face them Sunday in SoCal.

6 NHL games are complete so far tonight.
5 of them went to OT/SO.
That means 11 of 12 teams have got points.
Which illustrates why it’s so hard to play catch-up in the standings with so many 3-pointers.
