Ducks goalie John Gibson saved the day with a sprawling save against Leafs’ Mitch Marner.
October 30, 2022 at 8:29 p.m.ANAHEIM _ It hasn’t been the start to the season that the Ducks wanted, but in Sunday night’s dramatic 4-3 overtime win at Honda Center over the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs, you can start to see the formula for any future success might be.
“A lot of different players spoke and we just laid it all out there,” Eakins said. “It was really important we understood that the guy next to you isn’t going to pull us out of this. The coach isn’t going to pull us out of this. Each person in that room had to have a level of resolve.” More than anything else, the Ducks showed some resilience against the Leafs, a road weary team that was completing a five-game road trip and was playing for the second time in 48 hours.
“Frankie made a great play to me….I saw that the goalie wasn’t on the strong side post,” Kulikov said. “When I came around, I just threw it in there and see what happens.”
