Goalie Jonathan Bernier likely will start for the Anaheim Ducks. Bernier, who wasn't on the ice during an optional morning skate, has won three straight starts. The Ducks did not take line rushes, but Rickard Rakell was on th left wing with center Ryan Getzlaf and right wing Corey Perry during practice Monday. Defenseman Shea Theodore was recalled from San Diego of the American Hockey League on Sunday. Coach Randy Carlyle didn't say whether Theodore would play, but he wants to see Theodore's offensive prowess, especially on the power play. "With most young players, when they come into your lineup, the trust factor has to be earned," Carlyle said. "It's not given. He has to be out there earning the trust of the coaching staff so we can put him in more situations than he's been in previously. We know he can run a power play, we know he's a guy who can step out onto the blue line and make plays from the top and can shoot the puck effectively." The Ducks are looking for a faster start after falling behind 3-0 in a 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday. "Last game wasn't where we wanted to be," Perry said. "Having only eight shots through 35 minutes is tough. We have to go out and find it."
