Ducks Beat Utah 4-1 in Potential First-Round Preview

Lukas Dostal’s 29 saves steadied Anaheim ahead of a home date with Buffalo.

Overview

  • Utah dictated the opening stretch with the first nine shots, but Anaheim tightened its structure and limited the hosts to a single goal.
  • Dostal stopped 29 of 30 shots for the Ducks, while Vitek Vanecek made 20 saves on 22 shots for the Mammoth.
  • Anaheim went 0-for-5 on the power play as units continued to build chemistry following John Carlson’s addition and Troy Terry’s return.
  • Radko Gudas missed his fourth game of a five-game suspension, prompting further blue-line shuffles.
  • Mason McTavish returned after two healthy scratches, logged 10:22 of ice time with limited impact, and the Ducks now host Buffalo before a Canadian road swing.
