It reminds me a lot of the 2016-17 Toronto Maple Leafs team when Auston Matthews , Mitch Marner , and William Nylander first joined the team. And much like that Leafs team had Frederik Andersen to bail them out when they needed it, so do the Ducks in John Gibson . The Leafs are still the better team overall, but that’s because they’re five years ahead of what the Ducks currently are. OverallAs I said off the top, the Leafs are obviously the better team in this situation, but that’s because the Leafs youthful core is in their prime, while the Ducks is just establishing itself, like that 2016-17 Leafs team. The Ducks have the advantage on the PK and at drawing penalties, so it’d be best to stay out of the penalty box tonight.
