October 21, 2023 by Jordan Reinhardt
On the heels of a close but well-played loss to the Dallas Stars the other night, the Anaheim Ducks move on to game four of their schedule in a Saturday afternoon contest today with the Arizona Coyotes, who enter the matchup with a 2-2 record. The Coyotes hold wins over the New Jersey Devils and St. Louis Blues and will look to collect their third of the season and second in a row when the Ducks visit Gila River Arena.
The Ducks, on the other hand, want to get back in the win column and get back to .500. While the competition is not easier, per se, they are done matching up with Stanley Cup contenders for the time being. With the way they’ve started the season, this is a very winnable game. Let’s preview the matchup by looking at storylines, personnel, and tactics.

They all got on the scoresheet in their 3-2 victory. Let’s look at some positive, negative, and neutral takeaways from the matchup.
