The Anaheim Ducks came out absolutely flying against the Nashville Predators on Sunday.
Coming into the game with a shockingly low 10 goals in 10 games, the Ducks beat Predators backup goalie Carter Hutton three times in the opening frame to take a 3-0 lead through 20 minutes.

Despite the flurry of goals, the game remains far from over. The Ducks scored three goals in the first period against the Dallas Stars on Tuesday, only to lose 4-3.
