Trevor Zegras hasn't played a game for the Anaheim Ducks since December 4, but that should be changing on Tuesday night.

The futility of the Ducks’ power play was again on display in Florida, where the Panthers’ leading scorer Sam Reinhart was given a game misconduct and a major penalty for kneeing Isac Lundeström. The Ducks’ inability to finish with the five-minute man advantage –– or at all ––was on prominent display once more.

The Ducks will face the Florida Panthers again in the first home game of three before they head back on the road. The Ducks are coming off a 3-0 loss to the Panthers on Jan. 18. The Panthers have also not played since that 3-0 victory over the Ducks.
