The Ducks gave it their all despite a depleted lineup, but in the end, they came up short in a 5-1 loss to the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. They were without the services of three of their leading scorers - Ryan Getzlaf and Jakob Silfverberg - both stricken by the flu bug, and Rickard Rakell - out with an upper-body injury. All three had 25 points apiece. They joined the list of already-injured players Derek Grant (AC joint sprain), Troy Terry (broken bone beneath knee) and Nick Ritchie (MCL sprain).
