When the Blackhawks hosted the Ducks one week ago, Anaheim jumped all over them and took and early lead. They pressed the Blackhawks early and often in the first period again tonight, but it took move than 10 minutes for the home team to take the lead tonight. The Ducks only scored once in the first period.
The Blackhawks were completely overwhelmed in the second period, and the dam eventually broke. That tends to happen when the shots on goal ratio is nearly 4:1 in favor of the other team. The Blackhawks were out-shot 27-7 in the second period. Four of those shots went in. The 27 shots on goal in a single period broke the Ducks’ franchise record for 20 minutes.
A Ducks power play carried over to open the third period and they scored 15 seconds into the period. It certainly felt like there was some get even happening from last Sunday’s game in Chicago.
Star 1: Arvid Söderblom
The Ducks’ power play goal in the second period (their second goal of the night) was their 30th shot on goal in the game — and it came less than 27 minutes into the contest. I know it’s easy and popular to just blast him when the goals against is ugly, but this game wasn’t nearly as close as the score indicated even when it was 5-0 late in the second period. He faced 53 shots tonight.
Star 2: the bus driver
Here’s hoping they get the Blackhawks to the airport safely.
Star 3: the charter flight pilots
Here’s hoping they get the Blackhawks back to Chicago safely.

— BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) December 8, 2025 Levshunov and Sam Rinzel were credited with two shots on net each in the first period. The rest of the Blackhawks’ roster had two shots on net in the first — combined. And none of them came from a forward! The Blackhawks were out-shot 18-6 in the first period. At 5-on-5, scoring chances were 13-2 and high danger chances were 8-0 in favor of the Ducks in the opening 20 minutes. The Blackhawks were out-shot 27-7 in the second period. At 5-on-5, scoring chances were 15-3 and high danger chances were 9-0… those are just in the second period. After spending the entire game on social media, I’ll say one thing in closing: this game wasn’t one person’s fault. Pointing a single finger after this performance (or the one last night in LA) is just lazy. Not much went right this weekend.
