QUACK ATTACK Tonight’s is the Oilers’ annual affiliation night. the 2020-21 season marks the opening season of a three-season affiliation deal with the Ducks and Oilers. The two teams have had a working agreement for the past two seasons, becoming more familiar each season. The Anaheim Ducks were originally founded in 1993 as the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, which were owned by the Walt Disney Company. The Ducks rebranded in 2006 as the Anaheim Ducks after being purchased by Samueli family. The Ducks have 14 NHL playoff appearances, six division titles, two conference banners and the 2007 Stanley Cup in their trophy case. The Ducks have seen some of the best players in history come through their doors, including Teemu Selanne, Scott Nidermayer, Paul Kariya and Corey Perry. All four of those WESTERN CONFERENCE players have won league-wide rewards. The Oilers have seen several Ducks’ contracted players come through the organization. Bryce Kindopp, Max Golod, Jack Badini, Roman Durny and Olle Eriksson Ek STANDINGS (WIN PCT) have all appeared for the Oilers this season. The team has returned to some of their Mighty Ducks roots with their Reverse Retro jersey this season. Disney — who no longer own the team — are also beginning 1. FORT WAYNE- (.705) a new Mighty Ducks Series on Disney+. The original movies are credited as one of the major catalysts 2. WICHITA - (.663) for the rapid growth of hockey outside of the Original Six footprint. 3. ALLEN - (.641) PLESKACH POWER 4. UTAH (.548) Adam Pleskach comes into tonight with power-play goals in back-to-back games. The captain has 5. KANSAS CITY - (.512) shouldered the goal scoring responsibilities as of late, scoring six goals in his last seven games, 6. TULSA (.512) registering nine points in that span. 7. RAPID CITY (.500)
SCOUTING THE MAVERICKS Both teams come into tonight’s game with a .512 point percentage. The ECHL is using point percent- age for playoff berths this season due to Fort Wayne joining the fray late. The overall tiebreaker is regulation and overtime wins — essnetially how many wins a team picks up outside of shootouts. The Oilers currently hold that tiebreaker, but are currently behind the Mavericks in the standings because KC has played in one less game. Brodie Reid is the team’s leading scorer, but has not registered a point in four games. Matt Ginn was chased from the crease in the Mavericks come from behind victory last night, but still leads the team in all goaltending categroies.
