Update

Rickard Rakell didn’t skate Thursday and is listed as day to day with an upper-body injury. Ryan Getzlaf is also questionable in his return from an appendectomy. If both cannot play, the Ducks would be without two of their top three centers and probably will recall a forward.

The Ducks have won two straight for the first time this season, and Coach Bruce Boudreau said it gives them confidence but stopped short of saying they have gotten their game back. Anaheim showed more of a forecheck Wednesday and is riding goalie Frederik Andersen, who has allowed two goals in each of his past three starts.
