Exciting Win for Anaheim Ducks Against Edmonton Oilers

In a thrilling match at the Honda Center on April 7, 2025, the Anaheim Ducks clinched a dynamic victory over the Edmonton Oilers with a score of 3-2. Ducks fans were treated to an energetic display of talent and teamwork as the home team skated their way to a much-deserved win.

As the scoreboard lit up, it was Mason McTavish taking the lead in celebration after finding the back of the net during a pivotal moment in the game. At just 23 years old, McTavish has quickly become a fan favorite. His contributions were vital as he assisted in securing this important victory for the Ducks.

The Ducks brought their game all evening long, with impressive performances from various players. Isac Lundestrom, aged 21, was spotted confidently skating with the puck, and veteran Alex Killorn skillfully drove the puck forward, proving he still possesses remarkable agility and finesse. Meanwhile, Troy Terry, at 19, showcased his determination as he battled for puck possession.

Strong Defense and Key Players Shine

Running the defensive play, Drew Helleson was solid throughout the match, showing his prowess by skating confidently with the puck. He and fellow defenseman Olen Zellweger made sure to lay down a strong boundary against any chances the Oilers tried to create.

Not far behind was Pavel Mintyukov, also on the connecting end of some key plays with teammate Helleson. Meanwhile, the ever-busy Leo Carlsson and Nikita Nesterenko, both centers, were engaging in puck control, ensuring that the Ducks maintained their offensive pressure.

As the Ducks extended their lead, it was clear that teamwork was the name of the game. With goals from McTavish and his fellow teammates, every corner of the rink showcased the Ducks’ winning strategy. Although the Oilers fought back, the Ducks’ resolve simply couldn’t be broken that evening.

Looking Ahead: New Talent Joins the Roster

The excitement didn’t stop with the game, as the Ducks also made a strategic move by signing Carey Terrance to a three-year entry-level contract. This promising 19-year-old has been making headlines with his 39 points in 45 games with the Erie Otters. Having served as captain, Terrance is no stranger to leadership and skill, having previously helped Team USA to gold medals at the 2024 and 2025 World Junior Championships.
