The Mighty Old Ducks could argue that they had a moral victory in the Squirrels’ 5-1 win Thursday, as they lost by only four goals, an improvement over two losses last season. Though the Squirrels controlled the majority of the game, it was only 1-0 after the first period as the Squirrels couldn’t score in bunches though the shots kept coming.
Rob Myers got on the board first with a breakaway at 12:51 of the first period. In the second period, Dan Carter netted a goal and Brent Machado scored on a deflection. Chi Pham and Ben Sumner added two more in the third before the Ducks got on the board.
There was one stat, however, that was even more disproportionate than the score: The Squirrels’ 30-5 shot advantage.
Sumner, Carter, Myers, Pham, Matt Borlik, Greg Wenograd, Brent Machado, Charles Wolstein, Jon Magi, Don Marks, Chris Wautel and Drew Thiemann played for the Squirrels, who improved to 4-0 on the season.
The next game is Tuesday, Nov. 6, at 10 p.m. against the Nordiques.
