Ducks look forward to Troy Terry’s return – Orange County Register

Not that the Ducks needed proof that life without Troy Terry in the lineup would be an uphill battle, but the importance of their best player has been emphasized in the last four games, all one-sided losses.

They gave up six goals to the Pittsburgh Penguins, seven to the Vegas Golden Knights, seven to the Buffalo Sabers and six more to the Kings at the Honda Center Friday night.

“Another game where we shot ourselves in the foot,” said goaltender John Gibson after the 6-3 loss to the Kings, in which the Ducks conceded three power-play goals.

While it looks like a historically brutal stretch, the Ducks have been down this path before when conceding six or more goals in four straight games.

During the 1995–96 season, they lost four straight games, losing seven goals to the San Jose Sharks and six goals each to the Detroit Red Wings, Vancouver Canucks, and Kings from December 19–27.
