Ducks @ Blue Jackets GAMETHREAD: Welcome Party

Welcome to the Anaheim Ducks

Adam Henrique and Joseph Blandisi, acquired in the trade yesterday that saw Sami Vatanen head to New Jersey, will be making their Anaheim Ducks debut tonight against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Henrique will be centering the top line with Corey Perry and Nick Ritchie while Blandisi will be starting on the 4th line. It should be exciting to see how Henrique pairs with a player like Corey Perry, and as always, go Ducks!

Welcome (Back) to the Anaheim Ducks

This game also sees the return of Ondrej Kase and Brandon Montour to the lineup, a welcome sight for all Ducks fans everywhere. Kase has been a key offensive piece and hasn't played in ten games, so it may take him a game or so to get back into the scoring rhythm he had early in the season. Montour only missed the one game against the St Louis Blues after the elbow injury he sustained against the Chicago Blackhawks.
