Game 3 – Bruins (2-0-0) vs. Ducks (1-1-0)

No insults here, but this is probably the most winnable game in the California trip. The Ducks sit at 1-1 and have had an up and down start to the season thus far.

In their first game of the season they fell to the Golden Knights on the road, and in the second game they promptly defeated the Carolina 6-3. The Ducks are led in scoring by former-Bruin Frank Vatrano who has three goals thus far.

One player to look out for in this game is Leo Carlsson, the second-overall pick in this past year’s draft. Carlsson has yet to play in the regular season yet, but maybe he’ll make his debut on Sunday… Just maybe…

Out of Lukas Dostal and John Gibson, it really remains to be seen who Anaheim will with in net. It’s experience against the Bruins vs. who has more wins this season.

Prediction: Bruins 5, Ducks 3
