Ducks 1, Kings 0, end of 1st period.
Your early synopsis ... an even game, save a Chris Pronger slapshot that eluded Erik Ersberg.
Sean O'Donnell isn't playing for either team (he was a healthy scratch for the Kings). Brendan Morrison is making his preseason debut for the Ducks. The rest of the Ducks' lines:
Selanne-Morrison-Ryan
Kunitz-Ebbett-Perry
Parros-Sutherby-Miller
Lindstrom-Carter-Bodie (but Randy Carlyle has been mostly rolling the top three lines)
and on defense:
Pronger-Montador
Festerling-SN
Klee-Huskins
For the Kings:
Purcell-Handzus-Richardson
Armstrong-Ivanans-Simmonds.
Moulson-Moller-Frolov
Westgarth-Boyle-Calder
on defense:
Martinez-Greene
Johnson-Doughty
Preissing-Johnson

J.P. Hoornstra has been covering the Anaheim Ducks since 2007. Eight months after the University of Wisconsin won its third NCAA hockey championship, he was born in a frigid Madison winter. He betrayed his blue-blooded beginnings by graduating from UCLA in 2003, and welcomes any and all dialogue on the finer points of hockey.
