RSS Ducks Team Notes

Congrats to Alex Killorn on hitting 1,000 games - that's a huge milestone. Say what you will about his production this season, but you don't stick around in this league that long without being a solid, reliable player. His Stanley Cup experience with Tampa is the kind of thing that's valuable in a locker room, especially for a young team like the Ducks.

The Terry/Carlsson news is a bit of a mixed bag. Good to have Terry back since he's been one of the more consistent offensive threats when healthy. But losing Carlsson to IR is tough - the kid has shown flashes of being a legit top-six center. Hopefully it's nothing too serious and just a precautionary move.

As for the Olympics stuff, I'm actually pretty interested to see how some of the Ducks players represent their countries. It's always cool seeing NHL guys in that setting, playing for national pride instead of contracts. Should be fun to follow alongside the regular season.

Anyone have thoughts on how the Kraken matchup looks? Seattle's been inconsistent this year but they can be dangerous when their goaltending shows up.
 
Who Is Damian Clara? Meet Italy’s Rising Goalie Star

If you caught the recent Olympic game between Italy and Sweden, you probably noticed one name shining on the ice: Damian Clara. The 21-year-old goalie for Team Italy—and Anaheim Ducks prospect—was single-handedly keeping his team in the game before getting hurt trying to stop a breakaway from Vancouver Canucks star Elias Pettersson.
