Recovering from an injury to his left side he suffered Sunday,
Todd Marchant participated in practice at Honda Center on Tuesday,
one of the many Ducks eager to help the team reverse its trend of
sluggish starts.
The veteran forward, who was slammed into the boards at Madison
Square Garden by Rangers defenseman Dan Girardi just two days ago,
said he’s seen this problem creep up on the team in the past
and there is only one way to start eliminating it.
“When that puck drops, we have to be ready to go,”
Marchant said after practice today, remarking on how the team has
yet to score a first period goal. “That is something that we
need to figure out and figure out quickly. Let’s get a goal
in the first period or the first goal in the game. Let’s get
the first hit, draw the first penalty and win the first faceoff. If
your first on the puck and you’re doing things first, chances
are the other team is going to be trying to catch up to you. Little
things like that can make a difference in the hockey game.”
