Anaheim Ducks News & Notes:

Anaheim is 1-4 in their last five games and continues to drop in the standings. The Ducks currently hold the 8th best draft position.

Anaheim recently announced that Stian Solberg will be making his way to North America and will be assigned to the San Diego Gulls.

Nashville Predators News & Notes:

Nashville is in 30th place in the NHL, not where they expected to be after signing Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault in the offseason. While the Predators have played poorly, the question is, was it a fluke or not? If this roster is on a downward spiral, GM Barry Trotz made some grave errors with this roster that desperately needs to get younger.

Zegras-Carlsson-Killorn
Gauthier-McTavish-Nesterenko
Harkins-Lundestrom-Leason

Frank Vatrano leads the Ducks in goals with 20, and Troy Terry leads the team in points with 50.

Nashville Predators

Newly acquired Michael Bunting has only skated in three games with the Preds, tallying no points and a -3. As part of the main haul for Luke Schenn, you hope that Bunting will find his place on the roster and be able to produce like he had in Toronto.
