This year, the tournament - dubbed the 2018 Vegas Rookie Faceoff - is in Las Vegas at City National Arena. The six-team tournament also includes the host Vegas Golden Knights, Arizona Coyotes, Colorado Avalanche, LA Kings and San Jose Sharks. All Ducks games will be streamed on AnaheimDucks.com.
The Ducks will open their three-game tournament schedule tonight against the Kings at 5 p.m. PT.
Ducks prospect Benoit-Olivier Groulx says he can't wait to get things started. "I'm really excited," he said. "I'm going to have the opportunity to play with some of the vets like Troy Terry, Sam Steel and all those guys."
Groulx, who was selected in the second round (54th overall) of the 2018 NHL Draft, has collected 86 points (45g/41a) with 134 penalty minutes in 130 career Quebec Major Junior Hockey League games with Halifax.
"Going to try to show the organization what I can do," Groulx said. "Why they drafted me. Can't be more excited right now."
Following tonight's game, the Ducks will play the Avalanche tomorrow (5 p.m. PT) and close out their three-game slate on Tuesday against the Coyotes (11 a.m. PT).
