Ducks Secure 4-2 Victory in Dallas; Leason Impresses with Three Points

Monday, November 18th, 2024

In an exciting face-off, Brett Leason spearheaded the Anaheim Ducks to a 4-2 triumph against the Dallas Stars, contributing significantly with one goal and two assists.

Lukas Dostal played a crucial role for the Ducks, making 34 saves to ensure the win. Goals came from Olen Zellweger, Cutter Gauthier, and Jackson LaCombe, helping Anaheim secure back-to-back victories for the first time this season.

Despite goals from Esa Lindell and Matt Duchene, the Stars couldn't close the gap after LaCombe's backhand shot in the third period widened the Ducks' margin to two goals.

Before the game, Brock McGinn exited with a lower body injury for Anaheim.

Key observations for the teams:

The Ducks saw Zellweger open the scoring early, setting a positive pace supported by strong defense and goaltending.

For the Stars, their previous three-game win streak was halted as they struggled to counter the persistent pressure and timely scoring from Anaheim.

A pivotal moment was when Dostal stopped a breakaway attempt by Roope Hintz in the second period, stopping Dallas from gaining any momentum.

Dostal's outstanding performance added to his impressive nine games with 30-plus saves, a league high.

As their road trip continues, the Ducks will face Chicago on Tuesday, while the Stars prepare to host San Jose on Wednesday.
