WEEK 4 RECAP

Ducks 10  Blues 6

The Ducks took advantage of a short-handed Blues as they had Samantha Buglione suit up in net and were missing Peyton Paul for the remainder of the season (Get well soon, Peyton!).

Neslon Bautista remains hot for the Preds recording another multi-goal game but it wasn’t enough as the Preds lose this one and also a suffering blow to their roster as Luke Desarno looks to be out for the year – Get well soon, Luke!
