Update: Welcome to the first game of the Bruce Boudreau era. Boudreau, who was dismissed Monday by Washington, replaced the fired Randy Carlyle on Wednesday and conducted his first practice with the Ducks on Thursday. He put left wing Bobby Ryan back with center Ryan Getzlaf and right wing Corey Perry and said they would be that way from the opening shift Friday night. “That’s good news,” Ryan said. “I’ll take that.” Ryan was also reassured by General Manager Bob Murray that things would be settled down for the time being on the potential trade front. The Ducks won for the first time in eight games, beating Montreal on Wednesday, but Murray acknowledged the sizable task, saying, “This is a fresh start for them all and they’ve got a mountain to climb. And I fully expect them to start climbing it.”
