The Anaheim Ducks Drop Another Game

from Elliott Teaford of the OC Register,

You know it’s been an injury-riddled season when even the national anthem singer is on injured reserve. Dawn Wright, the Ducks’ long-time and much-beloved performer, announced recently on social media that she’s had throat troubles and had finally found a doctor to treat the problem.

Defenseman Hampus Lindholm was the latest of the Ducks’ players to be placed on IR, going down and out of the lineup Sunday because of a lower-body injury. Goaltender John Gibson also couldn’t play against the Colorado Avalanche because of the flu.

Four of the six defensemen in the Ducks’ lineup were rookies, the first time that’s happened to the team since before three of them were born, but a lack of experience on the blue line was the least of their worries during a 4-3 overtime loss at Honda Center.

The Ducks squandered a 3-1 lead and dropped their third consecutive game when Mikko Rantanen scored a power-play goal with 1.3 seconds remaining in the five-minute extra period. Nathan MacKinnon scored twice to rally the Avalanche, including the tying goal with 8:40 left in regulation.
