Carter Verhaeghe has also been a key player for the Panthers with 51 points on the season.

The Ducks also have some players who could make an impact, including Trevor Zegras, who has recorded 47 points on the season with 19 goals and 28 assists. Unfortunately, injured forward Troy Terry who won't be in today's lineup, has also been a strong contributor with 42 points on the season, and Adam Henrique has recorded 33 points.
