Sonny Milano Continues Great Play With Three More Assists
Anaheim Ducks left-winger Sonny Milano continued his excellent form on Wednesday night versus the Vegas Golden Knights.

Troy Terry Ends Drought With Goal Friday
Anaheim Ducks forward Troy Terry drew some concern when he only played a little over 12 minutes on Wednesday in the loss to the Colorado Avalanche.
