The connectivity that the Ducks had shown in parts of November and December after a rough patch at the beginning of the season was nowhere to be found on the road trip. Multiple players on the team have expressed a need to return to being predictable, with a meeting held in Tampa and another meeting held today after practice.

Colangelo has earned a promotion by leading the AHL’s San Diego Gulls with 13 goals and 22 points in his 24 games. He’s been bumped up to a scoring line with Troy Terry out of the lineup, and while he scored his second NHL goal last week, he’s also been on the ice for nine goals against at even strength.

Juraj Slafkovsky has been consistent with 10 points in his last 18 games, and fantasy hockey analyst Evan Berofsky is expecting more output from him soon.
