The Chicago Blackhawks visited the Anaheim Ducks during the regular season as a higher ranked opponent. This should have been a easy game based on the rankings, but you never know when a team will show up to play in the NHL. I was excited to finally see a big name, one that should make it deep into the playoffs, visit Anaheim. The game ended with the Ducks pulling out a win with a final score of 3-1.
