Friday, November 15th, 2024

With 8:51 left in the game, Cutter Gauthier scored his first NHL goal, helping the Anaheim Ducks secure a 6-4 win against the Detroit Red Wings.

Anaheim was initially down by two goals but made a comeback with four unanswered scores, including a quick one by Ross Johnston just 38 seconds after Gauthier's goal. Ryan Strome added the final touch with an empty-netter to clinch the victory.

Olen Zellweger had an impressive performance by scoring a goal and providing two assists, alongside Trevor Zegras and Troy Terry who both netted power-play goals. John Gibson contributed with 21 saves for Anaheim.

For Detroit, Marco Kasper marked his first NHL goal, with Jonatan Berggren and Lucas Raymond also scoring. In defense, Alex Lyon managed 23 saves.

Elsewhere in team news, Ducks forward Robby Fabbri underwent knee surgery, sidelining him for six to eight weeks, and defenseman Cam Fowler will miss two to four weeks due to an upper-body injury.

Key takeaways include Detroit's 20-year-old Kasper achieving his first multi-point game, while Zellweger stood out for the Ducks in his second multi-point game, and Zegras got his second goal in the last 16 games.

The turning point of the game was Gauthier's goal, which came in his 17th NHL game, and played a crucial role in the win.

A significant statistic from the game was Anaheim matching their power-play goal total from their last six games with two successful conversions.

Looking ahead, the Ducks will face Dallas on Monday, while the Red Wings will travel to Los Angeles on Saturday.
