"The Ducks will play the Leafs for the first time since team captain Radko Gudas ended Auston Matthews' season early due to a knee-on-knee hit - similar to the one he injured Sidney Crosby with at the Olympics."
"Gudas, who was suspended five games by the NHL's Department of Player Safety, confirmed that he will play in tonight's rematch despite not being 100 percent healthy and missing Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers."
"We should've had four guys in there doing something about it. It didn't happen then, but I thought they responded in the third. It was a good response there."
The Anaheim Ducks have taken the lead in the Pacific Division with a record of 5-1-1 in their last seven games. John Carlson, acquired at the trade deadline, was named NHL's Third Star of the Week after recording seven assists in three games. The Ducks are set to face the Toronto Maple Leafs, following a controversial incident where captain Radko Gudas injured Auston Matthews. Gudas, despite being less than fully healthy, confirmed he will play in the rematch against the Leafs.
