Another Loss For The Anaheim Ducks

01/16/2019 at 8:31am EST

from Elliott Teaford of the OC Register,

What now? What do the Ducks try now that their franchise-record losing streak was extended to 12 consecutive games with a 3-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday at Little Caesars Arena? How do they regain their lost confidence and overcome their rising frustration?

The Ducks have held meetings, watched video and worked and worked and worked some more to correct their many mistakes, but they still haven’t reversed their course. Soul-searching attempts haven’t produced the desired results. A trade couldn’t end their skid.

What’s next?

Maybe a pizza party instead of a regularly-scheduled practice Wednesday in St. Paul, Minn., the next stop on the Ducks’ five-game cross-continent trip? Maybe a bowling or billiards tournament rather than going to the rink as a way of lifting the gloom hanging over the players’ heads?

“We’ve tried to see if we could do something a little different (Wednesday),” Coach Randy Carlyle said. “We have an option to do something, but I’m not sure. I haven’t talked to our travel coordinator if that is something we could plan on or not. It’s not easy to plan things on 24-hour notice.
