Takeaways from the Ducks 2-1 Preseason Loss to the Kings

The Anaheim Ducks were defeated 2-1 by the Los Angeles Kings in an NHL preseason matchup on Wednesday night at Honda Center. Goaltender Lukas Dostal started in net for Anaheim, stopping 17 of 19 shots, while Kings goaltender Anton Forsberg stopped 24 of 25 shots to secure the victory for Los Angeles.

Defenseman Tristan Luneau led Anaheim in ice time across even strength, power play, and shorthanded situations throughout the contest. Top prospect Jayden Kurtz, an 18-year-old defenseman drafted three months earlier, also made his NHL preseason debut on the Ducks' top defensive pairing alongside Pavel Mintyukov.
