VIDEOS: Ducks score 3 first-period goals vs. Predators

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.

Rickard Rakell opened the scoring with a nifty backhand from the side of the net:

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.
