- On Friday night at Honda Center, the Anaheim Ducks defeated the Washington Capitals 4-3 in a shootout, with Troy Terry and Mason McTavish scoring to secure the win.
- After a 7-0 loss on Wednesday, the Anaheim Ducks rebounded with an improved effort, as rookie Beckett Sennecke took the NHL rookie scoring lead with his eighth goal and 22 points.
