Coach Bruce Boudreau has been impressed by the play of 19-year-old Rickard Rakell.
Boudreau made his comments Monday afternoon before the Ducks defeated the Flames. "I thought he did good," Boudreau said. "Again, one game. I don't want to get like we've won the Cup or anything. For a 19-year-old kid that just came in, I thought his first period was obviously jittery. But I thought once he settled in, he and his linemates had opportunities to score." Boudreau was happy with his defensive smarts and is not ready to send the youngster back to the CHL.
