The Ducks coach Greg Cronin is sending a clear message to his team: play faster if they want to be successful in the fast-paced NHL. After falling to a .500 record, Cronin emphasized the importance of speed in the game and criticized his team for playing at half speed in their recent losses. Goalie Lukáš Dostál, who has been a standout performer, looks to continue his strong play after a solid performance against the Kings. The Sharks, on the other hand, have struggled since their opening game loss, with only one point in their last four games. Former King Tyler Toffoli leads the Sharks in scoring, while rookie Macklin Celebrini has been sidelined with a hip injury. Despite the Sharks’ struggles, the Ducks know they cannot underestimate their opponents and are looking to improve their own performance to give Dostál and their defense a little more breathing room. With the Ducks gearing up to face the Sharks on Tuesday, both teams will be looking to turn their seasons around and secure a much-needed win.
